election year

rhyming quatrains

Election year your chance to have your say

 

The Government has proved to be

 corrupt and inefficient.

Prepared to act dishonestly

To everybody’s detriment.

 

Bar far the favoured few of course.

Who think they are above the law

They cheat and lie without remorse.

In their greed for even more.

 

Ill gotten gains to salt away

In some tax haven based offshore.

Although they say crime doesn’t pay

It can do if you make the law.

 

We must defeat them legally.

Expose their crimes to public view

Investigate them thoroughly

And punish them where it is due.

 

We must restore the old values

The values that our forebears knew.

It’s not a task we can refuse.

What must be done that we will do.

 

Out with old in with the new.

Elect men of integrity.

Get rid of the dishonest crew.

This is our opportunity.

 

 

The systems rotten to the core

And must be scrapped to start anew.

Go back to what we had before

Make honesty the prime virtue.

 

Don’t give your vote too easily

Think very hard and then decide.

Consider very carefully.

Now is the time to turn the tide.

 

Erase pork barrel politics.

We must derail the gravy train.

You can’t teach old dogs new tricks.

So throw them out and start again.

We seem to have the same problem Just which corporate head do we want to run things

[Poeticpiers]

Too many vote on party lines more from habit than conviction.
WE only seem to have the choice between poor quality candidates their chance depends more on cash than perceived ability.
