One Can Say Of Them Poem by Francis Duggan

One can say of them that they did have their day
Yet some former political leaders like to have their say
In their terms as leaders they failed to impress
Yet their opinions on how the Country should be run in the media they express
How shamelessly arrogant these people are
In politics their egos have taken them far
They live with an overinflated sense of self esteem
Quite narcissistic in their ways is how they do seem
Retired on their lavish pensions that the taxpayers pay
For themselves in life they are doing better than okay
Of humility in them not to be found one trace
Some of these ex political leaders who do not know how to age with grace
Expressing their political views on talkback radio every day
The egotistical opinionated always like to have their say.
