The eyes to the right,

nose to the left, parliament

by Picasso, no?

 

Snouts in troughs, insane

democracy inaction

and rolling in filth.

 

In? Out? Sheikh it all

about - time we woke up - smelled

the coffin’s polish.

 

See the blond leading

the dumb and dumber and deaf

to all argument.

 

X marks the black spot:

a confederacy of

dunces ruling fools.

Pretty much sums it all up for me, Ewan.  'Parliament by Picasso' - brilliant.

and commenting. The more I see of the political process the less I admire the people it produces.

I don't really do politics on account of my blonde, tiny, girly brain, but I heard the eyes to the right in parliament, and loved the Picasso image. The snuffling snouts in troughs 'democracy' - rolling in filth. In? Out? Sheikh it all about - time we woke up - smelled the coffin’s polish.... Very good.

girly brain? I don't think so. Thanks for reading and commenting anyway.

Politics for Dummies is of course the subject of another poem which I'm going to call "Trumpery" but, in truth, I think the fellow is beyond lampooning.

Tks for the Pick

Couldn't disagree with a word of it. Here, here!

and thanks for reading. Democracy is a failure, but it's better than the alternative. It's a shame all our politicos have Groucho's principles.
