Once was a politician, slick Bill by name <br />Who came to instant fame, <br />Just by appearing (to appear) <br />As a mirage, sometimes far and then quite near. <br /> <br />When interviewed by the news <br />And asked to express his views, <br />His stock answer which he had down pat, <br />Was, 'I'd rather not answer that.' <br /> <br />What about the Old-crocks in your party <br />Seems some new blood would be in order, <br />And, after thinking much too long <br />'I'd rather not answer that.' (It's a group to which I belong.) <br /> <br />And about the perverts that are in Congress, <br />It seems that the Republicans have distress. <br />Don't the Democrats have the same, <br />'I'd rather not answer that.' (And share the blame.) <br /> <br />Then there's the matter of insurance cost, <br />Were not you the one time Commission boss? <br />'Wait' says he, 'That's old hat, <br />And I'd rather not answer that.' <br /> <br />Are you in bed with Schumer, Biden and Kennedy <br />Just to mention these three, <br />Members of the Blue State henchmen? <br />'I'd rather not answer that.' He replies again. <br /> <br />So what do you stand for may I ask..... <br />'Too late, <br />I'd rather not answer that.', <br />I've got to dash. <br /> <br />Nowhere Man <br /> <br />He's a real nowhere man, <br />Sitting in his nowhere land, <br />Making all his nowhere plans <br />For nobody. <br /> <br />Doesn't have a point of view, <br />Knows not where he's going to, <br />Isn't he a bit like you and me? <br />Nowhere man, please listen, <br />You don't know what you're missing, <br />Nowhere man, the world is at your command. <br /> <br />He's as blind as he can be, <br />Just sees what he wants to see, <br />Nowhere man can you see me at all? <br />Doesn't have a point of view, <br />Knows not where he's going to, <br />Isn't he a bit like you and me? <br />Nowhere man, don't worry, <br />Take your time, don't hurry, <br />Leave it all till somebody else <br />Lends you a hand. <br /> <br />He's a real nowhere man, <br />Sitting in his nowhere land, <br />Making all his nowhere plans <br />For nobody. <br /> <br />Certainly not me or you.<br /><br />Sidi J.
