Lest there be lingering doubt, let me assure you, I don't believe the half of what I say. The point, after all, is winning, so I tell you What you want to hear from me today. Oh, yes, I have a point of view, and visions To push for once in office, if and when. But if I lose, then all my vain ambitions And dreams will go the way of mice and men. So I promise this and promise that I'll spend and cut your taxes and the debt, And pay for it by cutting just the fat. You'll have your cake and eat it, too, I'll bet. And yet and yet and yet and yet and yet ... This is how the world is, isn't it? Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
