The Politicians’ Villanelle
\nby cricketjeff on October 1, 2017.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nOn politics my thoughts are not profound
\nBut fundamental to my point of view –
\nThe botty-burp is not a friendly sound.<\/p>\n
When politicians crawl out from the ground,
\nI wonder if we’re needing something new.
\nOn politics my thoughts are not profound.<\/p>\n
‘Cause all I see’s another news-bite hound
\nWho seems to speak from — I’ll give you a clue –
\nThe botty-burp is not a friendly sound.<\/p>\n
The moderate’s balloon is often downed
\nBy crowd-drunk fools whose shattered dreams need glue.
\nOn politics my thoughts are not profound.<\/p>\n
Pile all of the them upon a steaming mound
\nAnd let them rot to an unholy goo.
\nThe botty-burp is not a friendly sound.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the modern World is u-bend bound
\nAnd dreadful stinks are all the voter’s due.
\nOn politics my thoughts are not profound;
\nThe botty-burp is not a friendly sound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
