Which Politician Will Pass the Buck
Which Politician Will Pass the Buck
Last time that I looked through thick and thin
All poets would be glad to start all over again
According to gray hair on their chinny, chin, chin
What time and which place should they begin?
Write pathetic poem here and put one there
In case if anyone out in world really will care
Always seem so glad and willing to appreciate
Or in a long grocery store line like to wait.
Forget my ma and me putting a colorful cap
We had several difficulties suffering a mishap
And were about to eat some splendid succotash
But someone from Tanzania threw it in the trash.
We have to and must go search for much more
They do have waiting in an American Dollar store
Not only are they passing but handing out a buck
And some politician came with his huge, big truck.
Come on now!!! You have to chuckle just a tiny bit
Unless on you one of the shoes might happen to fit.
Sounds like Will Rogers, one of my favorites along
with Robert Frost and Ogden Nash. Take those three
and put together and you end up with me, don't you see.
