Poetry: Nonsense

by Mac McGovern

Nonsense









politicians don't lie,
promises a pigs eye,
to do or try,
we know why,
mothers cry,
life a lie,
we never die

the rich get poorer,
the poor get richer,
they call you mister,
meet an alien visitor,
better odds with a twister

sale means craving
taxing promotes saving,
bathing then shaving,
road workers paving,
preachers raving,
neighbors waving

the economy is sound,
taxes equal all around
the President crowned,
craters upside down mounds,
job security, solid ground

education improving,
students deluding
teachers intruding,
nothing profound,
archaic sound

foolishness abound,
unstable ground,
wherever nonsense is found
