The politician said
'I love my job;
chaos and parties political
are my life blood.
I squeeze dollars from the law
by threatening one side
with a new law
and then I get them to pay me to vote against it;
then I go to the other side
and get them to pay me
to pass the law
through.
Having now
money from both sides
I sanctimoniously
declare
that each side must learn to compromise.
Then I pass a meaningless law
which each side then pays
me to repeal;
I say I will need more
money for my re-election bid
to strengthen the law
and whichever side
donates the most money
I vote for a new weak bill
which will need constant amendment
next year
where I will repeat the cycle.
I love my job.
I get all the money
and the citizens
get nothing.
That's good politicking.
