At least it won't be long now until this is over. This question is: What happens then?l

The Witch and the Warlock By Franklin Price 10/9/2016 The witch and the warlock Each run for president Halloween has come quite early Their curses have been sent They vilify each other That's what it's all about It's trick or treating time again Have brought the toilet paper out Have brought the eggs and soap along For the Senate and the House Brought skeletons from closets And they've cursed each other's spouse Coming to the voters' doors Have masks upon their faces Makes them most unworthy And as candidates disgraces When this Halloween is over And November's vote is done Will it be the witch or warlock? Which one's curses will have won? No matter who's the winner Witch or warlock in this fuss I hope in the end it is a treat Not a trick that ends on us

I'm with you on that. Nicely expressed. Love the analogy of the witch and the warlock, that is perfect.

So glad you liked it. I'm afraid our country may be haunted for quite some time.
