Poetic Injustice

[Plucketeer]

by Plucketeer....

Our congressional hopeful sang promises inflated
Told us our incumbent was sorely overrated
Pumped full of high ideals, he looked like he could fly
Enough so that the voters voted him to try

But when he got to Washington, the ugly truth set in
The ignorance of innocence would prove to be a sin
His morals and his principals that seemed so darned profound?
They vented uncontrollably and made a farting sound

He’s now just one more cog for the lobbyists to grease
He only seems to worry that his campaign funds might cease
The folks back home all wonder: what happened to “their guy”
What was it that denied him the chance to rise ands fly?
