A politician has a wish list
Full of favourite things to say
Caressing hopeful listening ears
Extending rescues from dismay
Eye to eye and patting hands
Finds the sympathetic glaze
A net to catch the feathery vote
With soundbite perfect phrase
To all my people waiting here
I make to you a solemn vow
How marvellous your life will be
As soon as I discover how
Backroom guys are watching
On their counter measure screen
Rates of change are pulverised
In a stealthy grind machine
