Optical Delusions ( A politician's Prayer)
Give me eyes like windows, closed
and shuttered at night.
Help me avert my gaze,
and my mind.
Let me observe life, yet see
nothing.
I will invest in rose coloured
contact lens factory.
Give me the strength not to see
myself as others do.
Don't let me make too much of a
spectacle of myself.
I must increase taxes on seeing
eye dogs.
And in time, with
some foresight,
a little insight,
and much hindsight,
I'll be declared
a man of vision.

Bill you should send this to the 'speaker of the house' and demand it be read each day.
