'Pied Piper of Politicians'

By soosoncrack

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Hello,I'm baaack... do you remember me? I was called to "Hamlin" once to walk some rats to sea Whoever called this time did not leave their name The request was really sad in fact it's quite a shame Business has been slow for "Pied Pipers" these days So I've been making money in lots of different ways But I'll be busy now taking back my old position Not ridding you of rats this time but getting rid of your politicians The rats were easy I played music and they followed By sundown I was done as by the sea they were swallowed Politicians may be more difficult not quite so easy to fool As deceit,lying and treachery are their own favorite tools Being environmentally conscious leading them to water is not my wish I don't want to be remembered for poisoning all of the fish There has to be a place it has to be large indeed To put these worthless worms so humanity may succeed For the Republicans I'll just play Pink Floyd's classic "Money" This will work on them like trapping a bear with honey The Democrats will follow there are more of them to bury This should require no more than some Peter,Paul and Mary This date with destiny for these worthless blobs of scuttle?
