Turtles On Fence Posts

A mini essay on Politicos

Terrapins And Politicians

'Turtles atop fence posts'

Is another name for politicians

Who seem at the very most

Not able to handle the spot they’re in

They shouldn’t be 

Where they are you see

Like turtles they’re as dumb

As a bag full of tea

One or the other (turtle or politician)

Be higher than they should be

Pick them up, then put them down

Back on the ground

Back where turtles (and politicians)

…Oughta’ be…
