Fabrication

When running for office,

You might as well lie

For nobody cares about truth,

And if you are caught

And reporters ask Why?

You can blame it on errors from youth.

 

A lie isn’t merely

“A poor choice of words,”

Which reminds me of “alternate facts.”

The political climate,

With tweets like the birds,

Doesn’t worry how someone reacts.

 

So a twist of a phrase,

Using “Jew-ish” instead

Of denying your claim as a Jew

May assuage any guilt

Over things that you said,

But no job should be given to you!
