Lies and damned lies, political promises,

Sound bytes all studded with prevarication;

Eloquent rhetoric, doesn’t care what he says,

Carefully crafted to hoodwink the nation.

 

Stands tall and true like like a sturdy young oak,

A trustworthy face is his expertise;

Everything hidden with mirrors and smoke,

Smooth obfuscation to hide all the sleaze.

 

Adopts cause célèbre at the drop of a hat,

Bandwagon jumping with consummate ease,

Dropped like a hot cake when discovered that

It would end his career like a toxic disease.

 

Keeps up appearances, that is his strength,

No programmes or policies found in his speech;

Says not a lot at extravagant length,

While draining the purse like a blood-bloated leech.

 

These are the people that want to rule over us,

Blind us with dogma, tell us what to do;

How can we let them do something so odious,

Can’t we just sack them all, start out anew?
