Tribute to Progressive Politicians

   Preening, posing, mouths always in motion
     jabbing your fingers high in the air
   Shouting and yelling, and screaming an ocean
     of high-intensity rubbish and verbal warfare

   O, progressive politicians, you make my day
     you never let fiscal reality get in your way
   You cut dashing figures in your pin-striped suits ~
     as your 'tax-base' you fleece and you loot
