The Democrats Debate

The Democrats Debate By Franklin Price 10/14/2015 Last night I stayed up kind of late To watch the Democrats debate About the issues of this land And where on each of them would stand Televised on CNN And hosted by the hotel Wynn Debaters trying to connect Had not a clue what to expect Five of them there to discuss Important things to all of us Beginning only two I knew Knew more of them when it was through Beginning questions pertinent Not much dodging as on it went Most practiced some civility Surprising both my wife and me Were these politicians in our view? That got along that's something new Supposed to poke and finger point And raise some hell to shake the joint Was not to be at least not much Seemed all of them were quite in touch No verbal punching to the chin Did not make worse this mess we're in I hope the elephants watched this show A lesson to learn was there you know Answers direct at least for most Was a debate and not a roast
