Bang for Buck

In brief debriefings, shallow intercourse,
Examining the little things of state,
Consenting politicians ply their course,
Lay bare the boring matter they relate.

Delving to shallow depths the issue dark,
They gaily play the oval office game.
Each leaves upon his mate a tell-tale mark
When after toil each to the other came.

Dicing for dominance from pole to pole,
Oiling machinery where no conscience prick,
They submit each to each the leading role
And sire false progeny of Bush and Dick.
