Vote For Me! Poem by Ted Middleton

Vote For Me!



Vote for me

Have you noticed I'm an expert
Have you noticed just how much
Did you ever see such brilliance
See - I've got the magic touch
Do you stand in awe of what I say
Do you hang on every word
Of all advice you ever got
Isn't mine the best you've heard
When you're looking for a saviour
If you want life trouble free
I assure you I've the answer
So make sure you vote for me

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this one to highlight the real salesmen of this world.

No....... not car salesmen, real estate or insurance salesmen.
They actually give you something of value by return and can be
jailed for lying or not performing - and have stringent laws to
strap up to as passed by the super salesman.....the politician.

Yet the politician doesn't have to perform, can lie to get elected
and not answer crucial questions put to him that he should. He can
crib his expenses and turn his back on problems he is elected
to attend to and grant himself overseas trips and outlandish wage
and allowance rises - but can get away with it seemingly.

I could never resist a shot at politicians - who can!
