Red in black ‘n white

Red is for
Roses
Said the child

Red is for
rubies
Said the millionaire

Red is for
blood
Said the murderer

Red is for
Lipstick
Said the movie star

Red is for
Wrong
Said the teacher

Cough cough
Red cheeks

Fail
said the politician
You are all wrong !

Red
Means
We in debt
In the red !

But Who will pay �'� ??
Said the people

All of the above !
Said he

Children and their children
And all the people that make up our
Society

Even you ?
The people asked him

Going redder
Hot under his white collar he replied

Oh hell.no
I’m a politician
I just make the rules

In
Black ‘n white
All for you to see

I love this...politcians don't get graded in red ink....they turn their papers in however they want, wherever they want...
Their rules....as Alice Cooper sang..."I'm top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice...I wanna be elected"

True I totally agree

That's such a great poem, Julie...a really clever piece of writing. Politicians make the rules and very few abide by them...

I really enjoyed it. Well done. :)
