The Running Mate

I wonder who’ll be my running mate In this election cycle When he has the vote of the party Who will he give the title Pence has experience and he very well known He’s honest, religious, and confident And his integrity has already shown But I don’t think he’ll take the wink So that means that he’s gone We will only accept loyalty And that is well known Desantis has a lot of attention His popularity has grown But when it comes to making decisions He puts Jim Crow on the throne Scott would be the better choice He black, he’s vocal, he’s known But that's the same as Larry Elder I’ll have to flip a coin. I’ve got to give it to Chris Christie His bravery so far has flown But he didn’t say he’ll pardon me If things go very wrong Nikki Haley is my best choice She’s beautiful slender and bold I wonder how far will she go If she thinks that I’ll consider her votes Ramaswamy seems so innocent Being thirtyfive and all I must admit he’s very slick But prejudice he will not sway As for the rest I will not test They simply will not pay Who knows their names, what gives them fame Or what votes that they can claim

This is a good poem that takes a look at some of the gang. As the title says, I was thinking we'd have a poet as president, which wouldn't be a bad thing at all!

In depth look at one side of the equation, TS. I stay out of politics here on the Soup. Nice poem though, and good information in general. The truth still hasn't been dealt with, so we'll see who's on the ballot and who's not. Bill

Your poem is really well-crafted! The words you have penned are a radiant that still glistens with brilliance. Each individual will undoubtedly be drawn to their own personal favorites and politics is always a delicate subject to debate
