I am not what you think,
Nor what the tabloids have said.
I'm trustworthy and shifty,
Despite what you've read.

I'll listen to your ideas,
Or I will make it seem so.
Oh, you've my full attention
As far as you know.

I'll take your suggestions,
For we're in fabulous shape -
And I'll tussle them up
In ten years of red tape.

It's just what I do,
And I'll do what I can.
Until my job is through,
For you know where I stand.

I'm ever concerned with our
Fine and fair Economy,
And for tweaking the taxes
We raised recently.

And making this world
A far safer place,
For me, or you maybe,
Should we meet face to face.

I'll shake your hand kindly
And I'll talk up a storm.
That's the one single purpose
Speech writers were born.

To help us tell you
What you all want to hear,
To make us seem rational,
Trustworthy, and clear.

As though we care, and we do.
Oh, we do, do, do, do,
We care a lot about things
That may one day include you.

I keep tabs on all the
Current events of our time,
So the things that I say
Will sound scholarly prime

And from time to time
I'll may add something new,
Which I'm quite positive
I shoplifted from you.

For I do need a raise,
And a shiny new car.
A yacht on the lake,
With a fully stocked bar.

Just a touch of new wealth
Directed my way.
Now that, my dear friend,
Will certainly cheer up my day.

So get out and Vote!
And remember my name!
It's all fun and war
In this politics game.

I was once a campaign manager for a man
running for Sheriff and then later ran for the
office myself. The games behind the scenes
make you sick to your stomach, and I despise
all politicians everywhere! Your poem is a lot
more true than the average citizen wants to
admit or even believe! Good job!
Blessings,
