Evade: A Politician's Handbook

August 26, 2014

If I were to be,

well you see,

I’d rather be you

than me.

Because a rabbit chase

through the sky

will end in a stubbed toe

fall into reality.

If I talk out of the right

side of my mouth,

I bite my left cheek

which doesn’t matter

unless I don’t have

a leg to stand on.

Does that answer

your question?

There's the issue of walking and chewing gum at the same time, but talking while doing almost anything else (or from both sides of mouth) doesn't seem an issue! I do feel sorry for some pols now as the rat race over getting funds for a campaign seems to have gotten just too intense--worse than ever--and yet they do not wish to stop it! Oh well. Clever poem! k.
