Well, many if not most of them have far better benefits than me and my family have. As far as the side dishes, who can say for certain. Your first letter in every line of this poem spells out TWA. Is that a sublime hint that you long to board an airline jet and fly,just to get away from it all for a while?

Anyhow, nice job and good luck.

    That's very clever Dean, noticing that! The short answer is no! But I'll accept it! Thank you for your upbeat commentary!

you have the correct line and syllable count
your few words ask the question with politicians what are the side dishes
we often wonder

Thanks very much for entering, mystery writer.

To meet the 'sexual innuendo' requirement, your last line must be cleverly insinuating the politicians' 'side dishes' are their sexual affairs.

Good luck, Ted

this is cute. mystery writer, since most politicians have their deserts on the side and their main entree they're married to. i wish you the best of luck in the contest.

This IT'S ALL A GAME writing prompt entry fulfills the elements of the contest with perfect syllable and line count, it does not rhyme, has no picture, but it does not have this element, "ENTRIES MUST HAVE FUN SEXUAL INUENDO, BUT NOT COARSE ENOUGH FOR A REVIEWER 'WARNING'". I'd prefer it the way you did do it about those scoundrels, but you may have to tweak it if feel you must to qualify. Personally, I see no reason to do the inuendo, but it is not mine to have any say. All the best in the contest. :0 GracieAnn

    Thank you for your tip and great review. I must be a twit!
reply by GracieAnn on 19-Mar-2014
    I see you changed it and it works with a double meaning without being overtly sexual. Nice save. A twit is one who refuses to adjust and you are not a twit. :0 GracieAnn

This 5-7-5 poem declares the painful truth. What they believe is directly attached to where they get the most money. It is very sad but mostly disgusting.

I would imagine it's all a money game with most politicians. Good 5-7-5 and well composed with timely issues. Good write. Don and Vicki

    I hope I didn't stir up a hornet's nest! I actually feel sorry for them! I wouldn't be one for all the tea in China! They evoke a lot of emotion , particularly in the U.S. Thank you for great, empathic comments!

Your 5-7-5 poem has the perfect syllable and line count. Politicians all play a game. Good luck in the contest.
