Ode to a Politician

Heard on the radio that world leaders were treated to a 9 course banquet whilst discussing world famine....

 

For those who say you can see through me

Just let me make myself perfectly clear

I’m see-through, transparent and thankfully

Frankfully open and honest and near

Enough to answer your questions

On subjects close to your heart

Like war and famine and world economics

And how we must all play our part.

I’ll come to your point in a moment

But first just let me say this

If I knew the answer to questions you’re posing

I’d be far less likely to miss

The pertinent issues you're making

With impotent rage you are shaking

You voted me in, now call it a sin

I dine on nine courses

Enough for six horses

And scrape it all in the bin.
