A RONDEAU OF STATESMANSHIP
In politics it's funny how
A man may tell you one thing now
And say tomorrow that he meant
To voice a different sentiment
And vow a very different vow.
The writ and spoken laws allow
Each individual to endow
His words with underground intent
In politics.
Thus he who leads in verbal prow-
Ness sports the laurel on his brow—
So if you wish to represent
The acme of the eminent,
Learning lying ere you make your bow
In politics.
