Political IOUS

   Who knows? I suppose it could be erroneous

   To say all politicians are felonious.

   Although, they never want to be harmonious,

   And are always happy to seem parsimonious

   And they really like being sanctimonious

   And they hate to do things unceremonious.

  

   There’s no fame in being unceremonious.

   Heck, they’re more newsworthy being erroneous,

   And on FOX it’s best to be sanctimonious.

   And a politician who is felonious

   Is OK as long as he’s parsimonious

   With those in need. But he can’t harmonious.

  

   No one cares about a pol who is harmonious,

   Who doesn’t huff and swear unceremonious.

   To be belligerently parsimonious

   Makes it acceptable to be erroneous

   And even quite astoundingly felonious

   So long as the pol remains sanctimonious.

  

   Big donors really like the sanctimonious

   And shun all those who want to be harmonious.

   They do not mind a guy who is felonious

   If he agrees to be unceremonious

   While he’s being purposefully erroneous

   To help make it seem like his parsimonious

  

   Stance is justified, and his parsimonious

   Votes are much more than just some sanctimonious

   Claptrap. Oh, his reasons might be erroneous,

   But so long as he doesn’t get harmonious

   And is really very unceremonious

   In making accusations of felonious

  

   Actions by others, he can be felonious

   Himself. The goal is to be parsimonious

   With all but his pals. Then, unceremonious

   Harrumphing and being quite sanctimonious

   And refusing to be at all harmonious

   Pleases those who pay him to be erroneous.

  

   Pols, unceremonious and felonious,

   Ever erroneous, always parsimonious

   And sanctimonious, detest the harmonious.
