A WORD TO THE WISE

A WORD TO THE WISE

(Political comment)

Of politicians be wary,

Of campaign promises leery…

What is said for election

Afterward sees rejection,

The results of which are scary!

Trying decisions who’s best,,

Who will do above all the rest?

Executing their plan–

Woman or man–

Much uncertainty in this process!

The worst part when they “get in”,

Often will turn with a grin…

They said what they said–

The subject is dead–

Then we discover what they always planned!

Even the worst choice,

May find righteousness sotto voce…

Things occur

Suddenly in a blur,

For that one thing..how much will they foist?

–Jonathan Caswell

FOOD

FOOD LIGHTENS MY DAY (!)

 

With a faceful of peanut butter,

All I can do is mutter….

Send pages of “mumfff,”

Not a triumph

On loudspeaker, who’d hear me utter?

Santa has a “bowlful of jelly”

For a round and ample belly…

But for we fat folks

The butt of jokes,

It’s only fun for characters on the telly.*

For supper, chicken BBQ,

I eat my leftovers too…

Food pantry ware

Keeps us from despair,

While politicians have their own queue.
