Sometimes, democratic leaders are better at being chamaeleons than dictators. Either way, most are as slimy as snakes. You've summed up this beast so very well, Rose Marie!

So very true.We really never know who a politician is until it is too late. So concisely but masterfully written, a poem that brings truth in its purest state

An apt metaphor for the treacherous beasts we know as the politician. The Are venomous chameleons, those that try to have integrity often sacrifice it for approval and power. Liberal or Republican it all seems like the same monster. Thank you, so succinctly and delightfully written.

The title should be read; A Political Animal. It has been amended but it did not reflect in the poem.
