Politicians Poem by Bob Gibson

Politicians

Rating: 5.0


I don't like our politicians, I think they are the pits
I'm angry at the government they survive upon their wits
I distrust our prime minister, I'm sure he tells us lies
And that Speaker of the house, i really do despise!
I'm not keen on the finance minister, he's taxing me to death
And the opposition leader, what a waste of breath!
I despise our local candidate, I can't believe, he was voted in!
Its rigged I'm sure, that I know! because I voted, for his twin!
Yes! I hate our politicians, and I'm not to keen on the Mayor!
I dislike those robes of office, and the silly wigs they wear
I can't stand! the verbal buffalo dust! uttered so sincere
kissing babies in the street, when election time is near!
I dread to watch live parliament, with half of them asleep
Only waking to approve a bill, which they'll never keep
Oh! sorry! I forgot, the fastest bill on earth,
The politicians pension's, backdated from time of birth!
I'm utterly disgusted! , perks stretch to children and their wives
and when they die its carried on, for the rest of their natural lives
Now I know that I have faults, and I'm a long way from perfection
but I'm going to put my hand up, at the next election
