In Crisis Desperate Situations Ability Leads Best Poem by Terence George Craddock

it was decades ago once said
that the IQ of politicians suited
them either to career politics

or making weaving baskets
because the level of leadership
displayed by politicians in crisis

is sometimes like the intellectually
handicapped except the intellectually
challenged were more dependable

reliable and could be trusted
to make beautifully crafted baskets
it is safer when said politicians

make baskets it does not cause
disasters for the people for the nation
and the Unsinkable Molly Brown

can be depended on like many citizens
of character to take better charge
of a lifeboat than a crew member not

properly trained
for the job or up
to the task in crisis
