IT’S JUST POLITICS


from the ABC set POLITICS, POWER AND PECCADILLOS

POLITICAL TRAIL

The difference between a Politician
And a snail you’ll find
Is that a snail will always
Leave its slime behind

YOU CAN’T PLEASE EVERYONE

If good politics is bad economics
And bad politics is good economics
Then good economics is bad politics
And bad economics is good politics

IT’S CAPITALISM THEN

Communism doesn’t really function
And it’s not too difficult to fathom
The reason for it is simple enough
People just like to own stuff

POLITICAL IDEAL

The ideal weight of a Politician
You will be pleased to learn
Is approximately two pounds
That’s not including the urn

ONE DOWN

I’ll tell you how, if you ever see
To get a Politician out of a tree?
It’s a really easy one you dope
Just climb up and cut the rope

THAT’S NOT FUNNY

There are some things that just aren’t funny
For instance here’s one that I’ve selected
I really don't approve at all of political jokes
Because I've seen too many of them get elected

AND THE WINNER IS

How is it that the American voters get to choose?
From presidential candidates that come in two’s
From just two to decide who runs the free world
But chose from fifty to have Miss America unveiled

DOG TRICK

The art of Diplomacy
Is really just the trick
Of saying "nice doggy"
Until you find a big stick
