I went on a search
For squeaky-clean politicians
The kind you could find
In important positions

I went to the mayor
He was kind and sincere
Yet spent most of his college
Shotgunning beers

I went to the senator
She was smart as a whip
But she fibbed in 8th grade
I watched the whole clip

I went to the judge
Justice was his passion
But he had one moral failure
Now he’s quite out of fashion

I went to the president
She was humble yet brave
But she lost me when I heard
She got high at a rave

So I’ve failed to find
A squeaky-clean politician
My vote is for fools
Full of sins of commission

No matter who graces
My unfortunate ballot
They surely won’t sate
My political palate

For they’re each full of pride
Yet a lot want to help
Every one of them flawed
At their best, like myself.
