 Politician Pie

A politician pie does be

A special favorite food for

Those picky cannibals like me

Who search beyond shelves at the store.

The main ingredient tends to

Be found where there's lots of hot air -

Lies, the politician does spew.

So it's in the public welfare

To grab the politicians and

Stuff into the oven to bake

At four fifty degrees deep panned,

Couple of hours it should take.

Each bite of politician pie

Is a refreshing treat - no lie!

Going to give away this bride

To the man I do love, and I'll
