Sad Soothsayer

Sad Soothsayer
Political pollster
Ain't got nuttin
In his holster

Shootin blanks
Air rifle blaster
Shootin his horn off
Media disaster

Tea leaf reader
Numb skull priest
Airplane safety
Door release

Tweeting moron
Spewing methane
Attention seeker
All in vain

Bobbing squinting
Tongue depressor
Brown shirt sycophant
Sad goose stepper

Candidate suck up
Big boot licker
Little ass kisser
Shit stained knickers

Chorus
Hype Coffin
Nothing to say
Soothsayer pundits
Please go away

Hype Coffin
Nothing to say
Soothsayer pundits
Please go away
Please - go - away

Luckily, I stopped watching any of the political pundits – even the one’s I used to listen to in my “echo chamber”. This was because a lot of what I heard was wishful thinking and also a lot of fear mongering. I simply got tired of it.

This song is my putting a nail in the “hype coffin”. As it turns out, the best advice to follow is ” It won’t be as bad as you had feared or as good as you had hoped”. Which is a pretty neutral place to be, but with so many things beyond our control it seems to be just right.
