The politician’s life

The politician’s business is;

Confronting,

Number crunching and,

Expensive launchings.

The politician’s skills are;

Conning,

Prolonging.

And dishonoring,

The politician’s tasks are;

Attending to other people’s money.

Spending other people’s money and.

Not spending other people’s money.

The politician.

The politician’s life span is short.

He’s involved in many a wrought.

And his credibility is usually ‘naught.’
