The Tongue Having Wagged, Wags On
May the spirit of the holiday season become a permanent residence and may it not be out-staged by politicians sparring in sand and toy boxes. This poem was generated after reading a post on the following blog site:

I highly recommend checking out that site to truly understand why I’m giving pause to rant on our politicians when the poinsettia is still in full bloom. The post saddened me in its message that perhaps the eloquence, dignity and style of our founding fathers have not been inherited by many of their heirs.
On Politicians
Our politicians have been watered down,
Hosed by those called Constituents.
( We are the creators of Politicians)
Brain is less, soul is less, love of country is less.
The eloquence of Jefferson, Paine, Adams,
Now reduced to LOL & ROFLMAO.
Even the mud they sling
Is watered down, leaving
Muddly puddles betwixt their legs.
Alas, had they known their heirs
Would be so diluted into crapulous mass,
Thomas, Thomas, and John
Would surely have been cloned.
“We are the creators of Politicians” — this is the key. The sad irony is we are creating our own epitaphs; our creation will assuredly be our undoing if we don’t find a way to bring it under control.
Thank you for sharing my post. I know that at least one person got the message, even if it was Pliny the Younger ;^)
I’m grateful to Charlie Pellegrino, I will now have “Younger” attached to my name!!! Don’t ever forget that.
I’m not a historian so I appreciate all the history I find on your post. You do the research and the delivery and I sit back and respond. What a great place to be found in when I was born lazy.

“Politicians will say anything, if it gets them what they want. Now some politicians will deny that … if it gets them what they want.” Anthony Marcolongo
“It is difficult indeed to remember when the government has not lied to us.” Anthony Marcolongo
