As Crooked As A Ram's Horn

You have heard the old saying as crooked as a ram's horn The truly honest politician perhaps has yet to be born Even the politician near to being honest to most questions give an ambiguous reply And if the truth will hurt their re-election chances the truth they will deny One has to suppose in politics honesty does not pay At least anyhow it does seem this way To most politicians to lie is okay In politics it does seem deception does pay Of worthy politicians so few one could name For their own broken promises their political opponents they blame You must be naïve if you believe everything a politician does say Deception is the game that politicians do play On a huge pension for life from politics they retire Yet about them there is nothing for to admire.
