Whatever...Give Me Back My Tv!

They're splashed across the tube again
To me they're nothing but a pain!

Promising me great health care
And luxuries beyond compare

An end to crime and unemployment
Massive wealth and much enjoyment

Republican or Democrat
They all just make their wallets fat!

I don't believe a word they say
They're all con artists anyway!

Stop by to read you today Deb, words of truth there, everyone just seeking to fill their own wallet, not caring about the suffering of the massive. Good luck with your entry. Joy (Jew)

Very funny, Deb! Political ads are driving me crazy too. I'd rather see the Geico gecko. At least this reptile doesn't pretend to be what he is not. Good luck in the contest! Diane
