Ode to the Politicians
Oh wise Politician,
Where's the global warming?
It's freezing cold here,
There's rain and it's storming.
Oh Wise Politician,
You need money for schools,
You take from the needy,
And treat us like fools.
Oh wise Politician,
I can't stand your noise,
More civil servants needed,
More jobs for the boys.
Oh wise Politician,
Taxes for a battle,
No-one wants war,
But we're treated like cattle.
Oh wise Politician,
Vast expenses you need,
And we will all contribute,
To pay for your greed.
Oh wise Politician,
So pushy and ambitious,
You pretend you are honest,
But we are suspicious.
Oh wise Politician,
Leave me alone,
I don't need your rhetoric,
I don't need your drone.
Oh wise Politician,
You're all the same,
Left wing or right wing,
It's all a bloody game.
