was that an itch
or political twitch?
it was deliberate wink, i think
first, they get our vote; then play turn coat
offer girl drugged drinks, prey with flirty hi-jinks
mark cards to win, gamble with sin
sly one-eyed blink… all cheaters stink!
Linking to dVerse with 44-word “wink” quadrille…
a poem in my pocket

Hi Lynn! I enjoyed reading your poem here, it was well written… no, I can’t abide dishonesty either, and there is enough to go around at the moment… 😐

My “wink”

Love the title and the rhyme. Yes, some of this winkin’ is a stinkin’ !

Thanks, Mish.

This is fantastic Lynn! It would be so nice if the truth became the political platform!

Cheaters, cheaters, and then there are cheetahs, who we hope tell the truth. Good one, Lynn.

After the vote comes the disappointment.

Yes, beware–they do stink! I’m just worried that some people can’t smell it, or don’t care.

All cheaters do indeed stink. And from what I can tell, almost all politicians, as well.
Nov 06, 2018 @ 13:24:59
Ha, ha 😉

Cheating and fooling around gets my ire. Hope it is not another round again.
Nov 06, 2018 @ 11:14:57
We need trustworthy leaders, who do what they promise…and fair card players 😉
Nov 06, 2018 @ 05:44:44
We are always cheated one way or another… but maybe we want to be fooled too.
Nov 06, 2018 @ 09:44:07
Hmmm…we are good at fooling ourselves.
Nov 06, 2018 @ 01:52:58
a very insincere wink
Nov 06, 2018 @ 09:45:07
Beware, and very careful with, winks!
Nov 06, 2018 @ 01:44:57
Loving this satirical take!
