A Political Poem

While on holidays I often catch up on the social media of family and I have a beloved uncle who’s never short of an opinion and was complaining about ‘Right Wing Nut Jobs’ on social media. I agreed with his opinion but it did prompt this poem:

Where to Stand?

Right Wing Nut Job
Not worth a bob
But still I think
Though, to me, their words stink
It’s the penalty we all must pay
That all have a right to their say.

It’s hard to imagine how it’d be
If all thought the same as me
While I think my aspirations laudable
Others will find them laughable
But I have found no matter where you stand
It’s important you don’t think all your thoughts are grand.
