Recipe for Political Bullocks

A Speech Writers delight

Spice with senseless ostentation
baffle and whip the affectation
add a tad of creamed cropped flap
just a pinch - not too much pap...
distract with blithering
and add some blarney
the kind of "barkers" at the circus carny
greese to deception with delicious lies
to soothe the ears and decieve the eyes
season to taste your speech confection
with grains of truth, to avoid detection
Then flatter the batter to a salacious lather
and bake til cooked in tinsled blather
(serves a nation)'

in other words, if you can't dazzle em with brilliance

baffle em with bullocks

To illustrate our point, here, we consult with professor Irwin Corey: The World's Foremost Authority.
