Moment of Weakness

Public Apology:

I have to apologise for a terrible mistake,
Not even the booking of that hooker online,
I meant to, wanted it real bad, no mistake;
Nor a costly one of paying $5,000 up front,
Or my now miss-taken sacred marital vows.
No! Just the greatest of all political blunders,
Being caught with my hypocrisy hanging out.

    Hey, Frank's up to his sarcastic best again, folks, with his sharp eye on arrogant Spitzer's "mistake", and zeroing in on the real mistake: not keeping his penile phoniness zippered up!
    This poem is rich and dripping with proper sarcasm, Frank. I really like your political poems with their humorous probes into the follies of the phonies. Your eyes even reach all the way across the pond to New York. I suppose, as you probably do too, that if hypocrisy were removed from the political world, all the legislative houses would be cobwebbed and empty!
    Good poem, again.
    Later...

      to Lad with thanks

      replying in the microscopic box is always odd isn't it? You were as good as your word - unlike most politicians both side of the pond. You were generous in doing so. Cheers
      ps - on edit you get a full box to write in, I didn't know. Now I feel more expansive and ask did you ever see "Scandal" a picture about the downfall of a Conservative politician who after all the sex scandals did good works and an award from the Crown all saintly - like just like St Francis. That's the way to do it, have all the fun/sin and end up honoured, Profumo was his name Christine Keeler his hooker. Plus ca change.
      Thanks again, trouble is I can't feature any stuff so it hides away. Hence my begging the read shamelessly. Frank
