When claims are made that simply fail the test,
We need to ask what causes such a thing:
There's more at stake than hoping for the best,
It matters not the wishful words that ring.
Take politics, where lots of stuff is said,
It comes to that we know what history shows
And, for a fact, we've need of being fed
A whole lot more than gasbag wind that blows.
It falls on us to call a spade a spade -
Applied the brakes to ballyhoo and bluff -,
Our action then that says we've made the grade,
Our reasoned rein that says we've had enough.
