JOHN MCCAIN: AN HONORABLE MAN

John McCain is an honorable man.

He tells us so. He says he’s not a crook,

Just as Nixon said before he forsook

D.C. in fear of the draconian.

He says he is an honorable man,

Hands outstretched for freebies from those who’ve said

There’s no quid pro quo, but instead he’s pled

Standard practice ante-diluvian.

Sadly, it seems the honorable man,

At least he tells us so, bethinks us slow

When he says his staff is indeed comprised

Of corporate courtesans, a slick clan

He claims is clean, but now he must forego

His word because his honor’s compromised.
