CLONES! CLONES!<\/p>\n

Clones, clones, everywhere clones,
\nEveryone seems to want the credit,
\nBut some pol had to promise it first,
\nSo well the other one needs to edit.<\/p>\n

Just as Hollywood makes remakes,
\nThese pols out of ideas seem to be,
\nSo they go & steal from each other,
\nMan, it is quite the political fantasy.<\/p>\n

When I’m elected I’ll keep my word,
\nLives will certainly be much better,
\nOh yeah, just wash, rinse & repeat,
\nBut what if you’re held to the letter?<\/p>\n

And thus those politicians compete,
\nAs they each strive to get your vote,
\nBut as for me, I do not trust a word,
\nJust throw them all out of the boat!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
