On flip-flopping
When candidates tout a two-sided dish
Our retort might be that it smells like fish ...
To a then double-dished political ploy
Weâd perforce have to say somethingâs fishy â ahoy!
Itâs amply served up by both party beasts
As we find ourselves guests at their polling feasts â
But when one such delivers forked-tongued crock
We then name it âflip-floppingâ like fish on a dock â
If they flip-flop too much, one likely would think
They might flip themselves off â right over the brink.
âtwould be best if theyâd all just tell the whole truth
âCause the truth is one-sided, not two â forsooth!
