Double Dealings

 

Shocking backhanders in politics

Such bare faced effrontery,

Petty criminals are in prisons

While big crooks run the country.

The more one examines politicians, the more one feels that this is true.
By the way have you noticed that no matter whom you vote for in an election, the flipping government always gets in?
Nice one! XX

not the longest 'count-er-ry' in forced rhyme. Still, I like it a lot and sincerely hope this sparks those long-winded pompous types to come out of the woodwork and share hackneyed, clinches with us mere mortal public. thanks Lynn the most enjoyable five or six seconds I've had in fve or six seconds. Ta muchly, Nick.
congratulations to a 9 year old Hannah. (that's right, start 'em early)
