Veep Debate

I knew I couldn’t get to sleep Unless I watched Veep versus Veep; ‘Cause after last week’s dull debate, I hoped that this would set things straight. So Biden started his attack, His plan to make his rival crack; But Ryan never lost his cool Or gave us much to ridicule… Except his blather had no heft. Without the fluff, not much is left; For Romney’s plans are not prolific, Naming nary one specific. Biden couldn’t stop his smiling Which, to some, was not beguiling. Still, despite his constant grin, He secured a solid win. Hopefully, some indecision Will be changed by television. Voters feeling some connection Will determine this election.

I will never forget what Lloyd Bentsen said to Dan Quayle during the 1988 debate. "......senator, you are no Jack Kennedy".
