A Definition Of President

Someone who verbally panders to
an electorate demographic while
actually serving the interests of the
wealthy and powerful minority in a
given nation.
Job requirements include being able
to mouth shallow platitudes from an
electronic prompter while wearing
expensive suits that his admirers
could never afford to wear themselves.
Last but not least this extraordinarily delusional individual
is required to absolutely portray a character who is capable
of promising the moon while delivering charred fragments of coal.

Poetry by Chaucer Whethers
