Thank you so much Wolfie, Jemima, AythangyowRay, elP and Frances. So pleased that you enjoyed it so much and highlighted some lines you liked. Beneath the glib humour here there is, I agree, the more worrying issue of the personality traits that people like politicians have ?

Much obliged to you all for these kind comments.

Cleverly glib and seemingly silly, these favourite stanzas stand out for me:

"he's way too schooled at staying

cool and too long in the tooth at

being economical with the truth."

and

"baa-baa baa-sted who craftily pulls

the wool over people's eyes and is

fond of knitting black and white lies."

Oh, Paul...and to think that these people walk among us!

Frankly--to look at it in a microcosm--I wonder if those who lie so easily have a sense that many of us are much too embarrassed to confront them. I mean, no man of reason can argue with a man who is willing to say anything.

A classy summarising of a certain type Paul. Nicely crafted and delicately sculpted; I like knitting black and white lies especially. Honest I did!
