An Honest Politician

An honest politician is a blot upon the state.

A wishy-washy fellow, as slippery as a skate.

They won't take your money to ignore an oversight

That makes some public building start collapsing overnight.

They will not put your uncle in a cushy job – oh no;

They'd rather see you nephews in a breadline moving slow.

They cannot be persuaded to just turn the other cheek

When you want to build a place that could pollute a creek.

They listen to an inner voice, like any schizophrenic.

You can't give 'em jewelry cuz they ain't photogenic.

Trampling the people, they will only serve the law.

They're about as handy as a clock made out of straw.
