Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Lyin' Ryan

Lyin' Ryan - the tag will stick,
Running the V.P. marathon
Right into the polls to pick
The politicians to con on.
Politicians train hard to lie,
And in the past it served them well.
But now fact checking's quick and spry,
Pointing out fibs the pols do tell.
Paul Ryan's no better or worse
Than any pol at telling lies.
But lyin' will become his curse.
Catch him at it and win a prize.

A truthful politician - gee!
When and how could that ever be!
