XIII     Mary J Corey



The politicians hack so furious!
Not likely that the facts will soon emerge.
I never took it all that serious.
I should have fought against that tribal urge.

One side's faux pauxs, endeavoring to purge,
We railed about the forty-some percent,
Instead of making "open mike" the scourge.
To smoke and mirrors, our attentions went.

I quite regret now,all the time we spent
To play class warfare on that poor old goat.
Obama turned out not quite heaven-sent.
Could I go back?  I'd like to change my vote!

Alive again, my heart would surely break,
As you sleep in the bed I helped to make.
