The Call

Oh my dear fellow, what a ghastly idea.
You mean to pursue a political career?

Yes, I hear your good intentions.
They're easy to declare.
But you're entering a nest of vipers
With wet ears and tidy hair.

I'm sure it's a grand design, 
But it's still an ivory tower.
Do you believe the elephants will consent
And vote you into power?

Of course you do. What was I thinking?
Hubristic delusion conquers all.
You must excuse me, I'm suddenly quite ill.
I do regret answering this call.
