Sense Sonnet - Tickler

"is"

The word "is" can cause a big stir
For politicians blamed about
This word. Huge fallout can occur.
A former President found out,
While attempting a lame defense,
That "is" could bite him on the butt,
As he played down frontal offense.
He still is stuck in the "is" rut.
So all politicians take heed
To check communications close,
That there is no mis "is" indeed.
Repercussions will be quite gross.

Deciding if and when "is" is
Is a must in politics biz.
