DEROGATORYa person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement within an organization.
“So…you want to be a politician”
The father says to his young son
“Are you sure this is what you want?
This is a career you’ll take on?”
“Yes father, this is what I want
I have experience as a leader
I’m the Club President
Of “Girl Mistreaters”
“We make fun of the girls
Just because we can
It makes us feel important
Just like a real man”
“1st rule in my club
I make all the rules
Second rule is
Revert to rule #1”
“I give all the orders
To the boys in the club
They do as I say
Bow down to me, fetch my grub
“But son” says the father
“That sounds like a dictatorship”
“Well dad, that’s how it’s done
I rule a tighter ship”
The father sensing trouble says
“You can’t base your political career
On today’s world leaders
You need to be truthful and sincere”
“But dad they all lie
I’ll just beat them all up
The world is mine to do as I wish
I’ll threaten to blow them all up
Then the father wakes from his nap
And says to his beautiful wife
“Honey, how about we get a puppy”
To which she replies, “Such a happy life”

Good write AP.
Goldfinch has a ditty about politicians. I won't pinch it from him, but let him speak......
And I'm certain it's a great one Orchi, thanks for reading.
The last line, "Honey, how about we get a puppy” Your poem was seriously amazing.💫
Thank you Meera, when writing the poem and nearing the end, it just hit me that the father should wake up from a bad dream. 🤔
Of course he should. The world can't bear another world war AP😂 This time it would have ended up worse I bet.
You have accurately described the mindset of the intelligentsia of today, and the example they set. You had me going, until the incredible zinger at the end, which so eloquently places the absurdity and foolishness of it all in perspective. Fantastic write my friend, you nailed it!!
Thank you so much Bella. Nice to know that here in MPS there are those of us who see absurdity of today's politicians. I find myself shaking my head in disbelief a lot lately. 🙄
hold up, let him cook... I love it.
I am not a fan of any politician at this time, we should bring back spitting image dear A.P if you don't know why it is, Google it, you will chuckle your heart out. 🌹
Teddy, I couldn't agree more. That show is SOOOOO spot on!. 😉👍
Good words AP and so very true in many respects.
Enjoy the puppy. LOL
Andy
MY puppy is a year and a half now. And we're both very happy, 😊🐶 Thanks for the read.
they are a dangerous breed .. I think a puppy would be a good idea ..
My puppy agrees with you. No politicians here. 🚫👺
And so it has always been. Times of Cesar, Attila the Hun, Hitler all great examples. Great point to the poem dogs would be better rulers.
Thanks soren for the read. Doggie treats to everyone. 🐶
Fantastic work.
Thanks Thomas. 👍
