I briefly read the papers and surprise, surprise, surprise,
Another politician has been caught out telling lies;
They really must be silly if they think that they can feed
A constant stream of fiction to the public and succeed
In making them believe it, when the journalists can check
If they were the captain or a lowly hand on deck.
So many make themselves appear much bigger than they are,
Claiming that in former life they really did go far,
Even if the truth is that their progress there was small,
And they had almost no responsibilities at all.
Others top their learning with degrees of every kind,
Even though they mostly are just figments in their mind.
And then there are the ones who seem they never are averse
To stating something is a fact, then later the reverse,
At one time they could get away with telling blatant lies,
But now they can’t hide major things from journalistic eyes.
When checking is so easy, it is really quite bizarre
A politician should tell fibs to make himself a star.
It makes one wonder if they are as bright as they proclaim.
Or if the truth is nearer to inadequate and lame.
