Long Politicians

Long on promises,
short on principal.
Long afflicted
with chronic running of the mouth disease.
Long on shaking hand,
and slapping backs and kissing babies.
Short on making the world
saver for those babies to live in.
Long politicians?
Well, it's a long, cool woman for me ...
Paula, don't be scared,
cause you're gonna be spared.
Could Paula Finn still be on here?

Paula Finn?

We can make sure that Paula receives this, Jaime.

Well done...

You are quite remarkable, knowing all you know, and sharing all that you do.

Thank you sunshine.  There are a couple of typos in there I did not catch in time.
Today my ears are whistling dixie and I can not hear much of anything so I am ammusing myself by looking at Passions.
Cheers
Jaime
