"Neither politics, nor religion," goes the line,
should you discuss else decorum and some such
you violate and good sense you afront.
"What else would one talk about?" one mutters, glancing
to be sure none within hearing take offense
nor none could possibly think it too blunt.
"Politics is poor man's church," someone fairly said,
knowing not nor caring what offense some take
when to one gender one refers for ease.
"Poverty of soul is what we mean," then we say,
and steal for solace to our well-worn comfort
where self is all that matters, if you please.
