Poem for (Insert Name Here)

I wrote this today.
Any nominations for whose name should be inserted ?


Poem for (Insert Name Here.......................................................)

Fudge, blur and obfuscate. Dispute and disavow .
Earnestly with gravitas, deny and disallow.
Justify, exonerate, elaborate, explain.
Deceive, delay, prevaricate but never take the blame
Reject, refute, repudiate distort and then disguise
Duplicitous mendacity, but surely never lies

Conspire, contrive, collaborate, disown and then revile.
Connive , collude, and camouflage for plausible denial.
Impune, gainsay and contradict, defer and then distort .
Warp, conceal or falsify while avoiding getting caught

Wangle, wiggle, wrangle, worm ,
weasel words at every turn

Twist and garble, gloss over, hide
terminological in-exactitudes explained and then denied
Pervert and warp , misstate then empathise.
He may mislead or misrepresent but surely never lies.
