This is another piece of satirical poetry. The author hopes that Kerry'd win November election and this victory would not only bring better future to the country but to her family as well. Anyhow, the piece of the satirical poetry below talks about the previous election of the year 2000. |
The author dedicates this poem to the election campaign of the year 2000, the most important event prior to September 11-th
This story wasn't so much vital,
Or important as was the Troy's fall:
Once started to argue political leaders
Who the dumbest is of them all.
"I am truly, genetically dumb",-
Told the first, raised he arms, tried to reason.
Put he then in his mouth his thumb,
Pointing out that he had no teeth of wisdom.
But the other two then disagreed,
"In our time teeth are no more a treasure.
Never mind you don't have wisdom teeth,
You have other thing, it - almost measured!"
Second - the woman required Sainthood,
And declared, "I should be always a winner!
Husband's infidel, has bad moods.
Therefore, I-myself, would be leader!"
She wasn't answered, however, in time,
That in lot of one party's countries
There were failures of many wives,
Who had tried to keep men through the party.
Was the third then obedient, nice.
For his own good was he too loyal.
He had lost his chance already twice.
Understood he that he was just toyed!
They had argued all days and nights.
Couldn't have anyone convinced others.
So, to solve the problem quite right
They'd decided to look for advice.
Wise people don't reside now in barrels.
(It was so easy to find them back then).
However, in one of apartments
There was wise person (the woman, not man).
She could only afford swimming suits
(No one wanted to pay her for wisdom).
She was trying to be nice not shroud
To accommodate needs of our three leaders!
"Can't I understand", - told she,
"Why 're you arguing who is the dumbest.
I can tell you even without any fee
You should first stop to betray each other!
Only together you'd win anything,
And do well what you're paid for.
Don't argue who the dumbest is,
And, if need, you can come one time more!"
She went back to her apartment then,
Looking wild with uncombed hair.
And three leaders turned their backs,
Breathing angrily the lake's fresh air!
They decided : "She was very rude,
The entire world is based on dummies.
And this truth - already proven for good
By great writer-Erasm Rotterdumski!"
One of leaders vowed to have revenge:
Was evicted the woman from apartment.
It was not great or drastical change,
But this female-leader's still in power!
And for now this story has the bad end.
And the end it has gotten for wrong reasons.
In the cell is now staying woman.
Do you think it is good for the wisdom?
