Exquisite Politics Comments

Rating: 3.4

The perfect voter has a smile but no eyes,
maybe not even a nose or hair on his or her toes,
maybe not even a single sperm cell, ovum, little paramecium.
Politics is a slug copulating in a Poughkeepsie garden.

Someday I won't politic anymore, my big heart will stop loving America and I'll leave her as easy as a marriage, splitting our assets, hoping to get the advantage before the other side yells Very good poem. tony

Someday I won't politic anymore, my big heart will stop. I never like politics, they are so unstabkle like one's crazy mind who is now at the first place in the USA and is talking stupidly all the time. IF I were you, dear ladies, I am really disheartened, having a president below the average standard. As a poetess, I have never heard any more stupid, true imaginable how you both must have felt..CONGRATULATIONS being chosen as the MPOTD!

Many vote only because we have to. Not supporting any of the parties. It is ridiculous the amount politicians are paid. It would be wonderful for a turn around where we stop paying half of these politicians and bring in the public for honesty. Enjoyed reading.

wow! does this sound up-to-date. i wonder when it was penned. and what if duhamel wrote it in the last year or so? i definitely relate, and it doesn't hurt that the locations she mentions are from the city of my birth and upbringing. -gk
