Premium Member Limerick: Once a Bold Billionaire From Ma-Lays-She-Ah

Limerick: Once a bold billionaire from Ma-Lays-She-Ah

Once a bold billionaire from Ma-Lays-She-Ah*
Bought up politicos to militia
They put his money to work
Called him a right proper jerk
Now he pulls rickshaws barefoot in absentia.

Premium Member THE F---WORD

Seems like certain politicos toss about the f---word thinking they're cute!

Didn't their mommies teach them that real ladies and gents of good repute,

Don't express themselves in public in such a disgraceful manner and so crudely?

"Profanity is the effort of a feeble brain to express itself lewdly!"

Premium Member All Talk

Politicos prattle
their prating rattle,
will such rantings ever cease ?
Smugly they sanctimone
as listeners,inward groan;
With theories,so unreal
hypothesising on how we feel;
Will such arrogance condescend
listen,or unbend-
or is it all just talk
sans hard yards of walk.

Trust me,it won't happen again !

Politicos prattle
their prating rattle,
will such rantings ever cease ?

Smugly they sanctimone
as listeners,inward groan;
With theories,so unreal
hypothesising on how we feel;

Will such arrogance condescend
listen,or unbend-
or is it all just talk
sans hard yards of walk.

Trust me,it won't happen again !

their prating rattle,
will such rantings ever cease ?
Smugly they sanctimone

With theories,so unreal

Will such arrogance condescend

sans hard yards of walk.

Trust me,it won't happen again !

Premium Member Duty Becomes Her a Royal Tribute

An empire on which the sun never set
became her commonwealth.
A kingdom of four crowns ,close held
her fiefdom and her realm.
Politicos by the dozen ,came and went
her sense of duty stayed,from heaven sent.
Family failures&tragedy tested this resolve
for many years ' horribilis'.
Ninety now ,to Elizabeth we lift a glass
long may she live&reign in 'annus mirabilis'

Premium Member Election Day

Election, Schmalection!
It's not we who choose.
It's Congress that picks the one they will use.

It isn't the people,
Who vote the man in.
It's the Powers That Be who decides who will win.

It's the Politicos,
That are running the show.
You agree with their wishes or you just have to go.

The Mob is passe.
It's called Politics now;
But they're one and the same, just a bit more high brow.

Premium Member Copla Seis: This Bad Guy World

COPLA SEIS : This Bad Guy World

Politicians hatch decisions
After much show of bravado :
Innate cunning

First stage gets set through collusions
Actors then strut words with much glow :
Only miming

Wounded foot soldier falls with flag
Families pray and people pay :
Penthouse lords jive

Politicos salute their rag
« God Bless My Country », so they say :
« All the rest : Dive ! »

Premium Member Like a Hot Potato, They Pass the Buck

      The old ‘Pass-Punt-Kick’ contest
        misappropriated by politicos
     You’re familiar with the stereotype
        the kind who check which way the wind blows

     Like a hot potato they pass the buck
        If asked a tough question, they punt
     And when a financial decision looms, they
        kick the can years down the road

     So, fans, it seems we have a winner
        535 Congressmen, each and every one a sinner
