A politician never tells a lie -- of that I’m sure.

Their hearts are bright and simple and their motives always pure.

I trust them all implicitly -- they sacrifice a lot

And never listen to the rich and ignorant crackpot.

They love the poor and needy, like the Savior did of old,

And never can be swayed by prejudice or sordid gold.

And I think those who criticize the Washington elite

Are double-dealing troublemakers, and they have cold feet.

Our office holders are as wise and good as Socrates

(of course I also think the moon is made of ripe green cheese . . . )
