Politicians strive mightily to give the impression of warmth, intellect, decisiveness, or just plain man of the people, all as the moment requires, presenting themselves to the public as something they typically are not. In the spirit of bringing truth to advertising, Verse-afire brings you snap-shot bio-pics of some of our leading men and women.
Bill Clinton, a man oleaginous
Once known for political dodginess
Thinks despite his white hair
That the ladies still care
He thinks he’s in a zone erogenous
The Chief of Staff man name of Rahm
Tells the country you gotta stay calm
We this crisis can’t waste
So we’re spending in haste
Hoping some of it sticks to a palm
Pelosi exchanges high fives
As she brings out the socialist knives
She wants health care for all
But the people still stall
They don’t want Nancy running their lives
Harry Reid used to be a club fighter
In the day when he was a bit lighter
But the blows to the head
Made him Senator instead
Where he thinks he’s been given a miter
Chuck Schumer’s a synonym for oily
Will smile and then say something coyly
That he thinks hides the shivs
As the sneak blow he gives
So all tend to despise the man royally
Of course it would surely be odd
If we left out one Christopher Dodd
Sweetheart mortgage went through
No not one, count ‘em, two
But it’s okay, he thinks he is God
