The saying goes: 'Those that go in circles
Shall be known as wheels.'
And such it is that we, all knowing,
There's a name for it, 'Circular reasoning.'
Practiced by leaders in our own time
As they're elected to high offices, most sublime.
For the rest of us it remains to see
What the results of their actions will be.
So Stanley Cooper, you've got it right
Spinning like a top with all their might
They like a dog chasing its tail
Know what's best for all of us without fail.
Or another analogy from the past
Has a snake consuming its own tail to the last.
Then 'poof', the snake will of course be gone
And all that's left is a bit of skin and bone
Evidence that circular reasoning has no good end
When it seeks rules to bend.
