Please go to the polls and cast your vote for the best of the bad choices, We the people are already at fault for where we are. At least take some of the responsibility for that.
Two Days Away
By Franklin Price
11/6/2016
Two days away and closing fast
Next Tuesday's chance will be the last
To cast your vote for president
The future White House resident
Only two still have chance
To wear this country's leader's pants
Neither one is much admired
Yet Tuesday one of them is hired
If you care must cast your vote
Though either one will rock the boat
Will float or sink the ship of state
For whom you vote you must relate
One has been a part for years
Of Washington, how it appears
Of what it does today for you
The monkey in the public zoo
The other hasn't been a part
Yet promises to pull the cart
To put this country back in place
To grow again and save our face
The former says there's room for change
Establishment to rearrange
Respect the people once again
They've lied before and it's a sin
The latter with bad choice of speech
Says that recovery's in our reach
Together we can make things right
If we together fight the fight.
Go to the polls and don't stay home
From Florida and North to Nome
Follow your heart and have your say
Of who will win election day
