A Day in the Life of a Politician

Ma’am how can you make such a brash statement 

Edgar Allan Poe’s death was a mystery as no one actually knows how he died!

His only witnesses were the ravens,

So am I wrong to say he was nevermourned?

Ma’am correct me if I’m wrong

The celebrity that got into a nasty fight last night, wasn’t it Reese Witherspoon?

Yes she fought her opponent off,

But  with a knife not a spoon.

Ma’am I’m gonna run this by you again

The suspect’s small in stature “Like a dwarf,” do you have any other details?

Not that I know of, 

yet I can certainly tell you they weren’t Happy.

Ma’am I’m going to read off the charges again

You’ve been charged with disturbing the peace of an airline; what’s your defense?

My defense?

Isn’t it obvious that I’ve lost my case!

Ma’am how is this possible

How’d you end up in the same facility as me, what white collar crime did you commit?

I made the mistake of wearing my white tailored suit on labor day,

Alongside embezzlement of funds

Ma’am surely you’re jesting

You need to pay the $5 fee, or you’re not taking this transit.

But I have my payment right here, 

For I’ve brought all 5 of my bucks!

Ma’am I’ve got a question

Why are you adding punchlines to cover up all of your crimes?

Ah well you see It’s just a part of my job,

I’m a politician after all.
