Thieves Beneath Contempt.

Lining pockets with cash large and small,
Once found out, they return not one call.
But an amendment we need
to inflict on this breed
the same treatment that they give us all.

Excellent as always, Gerard. I think the amendment needed is one that limits terms to one year in office. The insiders are on the take and destroying our chances for better government. Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn
