## A Crude Remedy - A Humour

Rating: 5.0


sometimes...
it really becomes difficult
to keep the HEAD in place
if you go through a political magazine
if you watch through a political channel
it could really get you.....
your HEAD might start spinning

every party has a dedicated channel
your HEAD might sway to the right
if you are watching the ruling party's channel
a neutral channel might put it back in place..again
an opposition channel would swing it to the left
it really becomes difficult
to keep the HEAD in place

if you are going through a political magazine
if there is an interview of a politician
who has just switched party or changed alliance
if there is anything highligted in the interview...about
what he said BEFORE and AFTER switching...
my advice would be...please don't even venture to read it
it would swing your HEAD left and right..continuosly and rapidly
your HEAD might take a full round before you finish

INSPITE OF ALL THESE CONSEQUENCES
IF YOU ARE AN ARDENT FAN OF POLITICS
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY...A CRUDE METHOD OF
PLACING TWO STICKS ON EITHER SIDES MIGHT HELP
THE HEAD TO STAY IN PLACE

Rank opportunism and partisanship in politics – nicely exposed. The concluding lines are worth to be read and re-read: IF YOU ARE AN ARDENT FAN OF POLITICS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY...A CRUDE METHOD OF PLACING TWO STICKS ON EITHER SIDES MIGHT HELP THE HEAD TO STAY IN PLACE Lakshmi, you get #10.

I would also suggest A chair with strappings Maybe a Chair from Some doctor's lair Politicians are a set apart They all have this effect On one and all - To Read the poem was a joy A riot of amusement To follow the swing of words From Left to Right Tongue in Cheek You make me smile! Ps: I don't read news paper or listen to them either - A real sad state of affairs brought out with a dash of brilliant humour! Angel

I just love this! (lol) . It is a brilliant piece of writing and I agree wholeheartedly about the situation with politicians. They are like little children in Parliament, and to think we in this country vote them in! I must share your poem with my social friends in Australia. Sometimes I wish we could swing their necks around and whirl some sense into them! 10 Karin Anderson
