Like My Father Said Or the Old Adage Goes

As the old adage goes

Or the forefathers say

Never discuss

Religion

Or

Politics

Unless you enjoy

Your own company

Honey Eyed

go back to 
sleep. 

The World 
is 
worse for 
wear,

without 
us 

worrying 
about it.

Crisp apple, 

ripen 
later.

Oh, wish we'd never met 'er
She squeals, complains - a hero

not knowing the right direction

Politics always has a malfunction

Premium Member Isn't politics just another sport?

When love of sport turns to hatred for the opposing team
that's seriously taking the 'we' against 'them' too far

Politicians
base tacticians
no shame accrues for them.
They vote for war
then tax us more
Their lies spew forth like phlegm.

In the Mine Field of Politics

You, some idiot politicians!
Much of what you do
is a rather thoughtless act
and also 
you should concern 
the immensely explosive 
impact
