A Politician's Lament Poem by Joseph Anderson

A Politician's Lament

Rating: 5.0


My fellow Americans I stand here
To voice my current fright;
From what I hear, perhaps you fear
A governmental blight.

Ecomomy's no good, that's understood
And the market ebbs and flows,
While some amongst you fear I would
Cavort with sleasy ho's.

My rating's in a deep downgrade
Despite my great repute,
But, what I did to that sweet maid
I cunningly dispute.

No doubt I frown, my pants are down;
My zipper came unstuck,
But, in this town I have renown
While the presses run amuck.

I do the job you sent to me
In Congress, day by day.
Believe in me, let's wait and see,
God bless the U.S.A.

A parody on many political shenanigans

How often, how true. How they destroy their own trade, reputations and lives. We then must also pay for their failures. Captain Cur for President. At least you know what your getting! Great write, Joe.

So much truth contained in this enjoyable write. As usual the rhyming and rhythm are first class.

And they will deny it to their death beds if they aren't caught with their hands in the dough.
