Rated "G" by the Author.

Save

With the price of oil, war of the spoils Here’s your bucket for the big bailout Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan We gotta, a lot to drink about Jimmy Buffett
I’m the sheep in wolf’s clothing Got you by the balls You watch me on TV each night Another city falls Social engineering Revenge at rifle’s point Pick Chicago or choose Baghdad New leaders to anoint I’m the sheep in wolf’s clothing Proclaiming red alert A dozen global conflicts With war again we flirt Ignition switches failing Cars driving off a cliff Potential compensation It isn’t when, but if I’m the sheep in wolf’s clothing I watch your every move As long as people vote for me I’ll stay right in my groove Another week in high school The madness just begun I really like my video games They teach me to have fun I’m the sheep in wolf’s clothing Entitlements going broke We’re going to have to import A bunch of foreign folk Because otherwise I’ll tax the rich Which never bodes very well I need their campaign funding So my election coffers swell Of course anything left over An offer I can’t refuse I’ll still proclaim pure poverty You can watch me on the news I’m the sheep in wolf’s clothing Of my courage I will tell On the outside I’m ferocious Inside an empty shell Copyright 2014 Patrick A Granfors

Sound to me like you've got politicians summed up pretty well,
I wonder if there's some global mold for politicians, ans every country gets and even share?, after all they do all seem exactly the same where-ever you go.
Well just a thought.
Loved the poem, thanks for sharing.

Where to begin, I don't understand why it's so hard to pull the costume off and have them running off with their tail between their legs. Nothing is perfect but, really? Thanks for the write up.

It's sad about the person in the sheep's clothing.

I sense you are actually writing about someone. Someone whose shoes no one would really want if they knew what it was like to fill them.

Better to be a sheep until you have to strike like an eagle, and then, only when you have no other choice.
