Masters of pretense
Meaning MPs for short,
Oft times after they are elected
Sense they abort.
Masters of pretense
With promises galore,
A minute few are notably fulfilled
But they promise more.
Fooling you and me
Their proverbial clowns
Who elect them time and again
Every election round.
Masters of pretense
Very convincing they are,
Somewhat like those circuses
That come from afar.
Talking ‘bout circuses
One just came to shore
But MPs captured more attention,
That is for sure.
Permission was sought
And permission granted
But allegedly one Government agency
Apparently relented.
Having pitched their tents
They had to close
To be subsequently located elsewhere
To continue the shows.
Some MPs had their say,
So too did the PM
But it was very clear to this writer
Who were the problem.
Two circuses competed
Of MPs and of clowns,
And our Masters of pretense
Caused the turnaround.
One comes occasionally
The other all year round,
Pitching their tents in Parliament,
There are the clowns.
Saddled with them
For the next four years,
With their packages of promises
They will fill our ears.
At least the PM
In her gracious sagacity
Did admit, as I am fully aware,
Some culpability.
But there was a ‘But’,
More like a deflection
That suggested, don’t blame them
For this infraction.
Brown Water Alert
Had picked up before
Thus, the circus should have heeded,
Need you hear more?
Masters of pretense
Meaning MPs for short,
Oft times after they are elected
Sense they abort.
Commonsense, I mean:
The irregular type
For with the number of PhDs today
We’re still in a plight.
Paper performance
Governmental delinquency!
Three thirty-love election victories
But still in its infancy.
Regaling one and all
With stunning circus acts,
These Masters of pretense, aka MPs
Are surely off track.
Two added recently:
BimPay and land tax bills,
Just check out the daily tabloids
To have your fill.
