An Advocate's Advice

My brother-in-law keeps egging me on "Get active in political races If you wait too long, your chance will be gone Politicos hire familiar faces” Tim always thinks he knows what’s best for me And he just assumes I’ll take his advice After all, he’s blessed with a PhD Knows how to avoid paying market price Though some pursue careers with great gusto Following my heart is more important Political favors I can forego Pursue no payback; suffer no torment If you become the devil’s advocate You might lose self respect, lickety split
