Blight On Society

by ElizabethSquires

All of our politicians are a blight on our society These self important people do possess a lack luster glow Governing for themselves is their number one priority Telling porkies is the way that their rhetoric doth flow It is our misfortune to have so many of them in our halls of power We're paying them a fortune for mismanaging government biz Not a one of these pollies are worth a left or right bower They should be thrown out of our parliaments and into a tizz We're heartily sick of the whole lot of them As they do so leave us with a feeling of contempt Not to forget our coughs indigestion or phlegm We so wish they were from our taxes exempt If only we could do without this undesirable lot Our countries would most assuredly be less on the ill side They have a reputation as bad as a staining ink spot And we'd be only too happy to toss them all well aside Moaning and whinging will not relieve the constant bane We've got to take things into our own hands We cannot endure anymore of their burdensome strain Government benches would be better off being rid of these bands Acquiring a repellent to spray on them is one of my notions Then we can relax knowing that they'll no more blight us These thoughts are just me musing on a few suggestions I'll leave you all to ruminate on this poetic piece thus
