This one I did for school. Hehe~ Bonus points for guessing which poet I'm imitating.

The politician loves his own campaign
He’s true to word, and never needs to feign,
He loves to play detective just for fun
And likes to speak in riddles and in puns.
He needs no platform to proclaim his views
For none of his ideas had gone askew
From what the country’s people always wish.
His perfect record was without blemish.
The only data he could ever need
Was just his rivals’ platform and their creed
For this he hired the loyalest of men
And paid him cash from helpful citizens.
His face angelic and wiped clean of sweat,
He greeted cheerfully everyone he met,
With gleaming eyes and perfect golden teeth
And showed what truly he was underneath.
