20 Politicians Standing On a Wall - An Allegory of the Democratic Debates

Twenty politicians standing on a wall Oh what fun to see some fall, Blabber, blabber, rue the day They talk and talk but little say. Yet they shout and argue too About what I challenge you To then repeat what they have said, The mere thought just blows my head. Each loves the sound of their own voice And stand before us all by choice, To have us judge who it shall be With each one saying, me me me. But like Pied Piper with his flute The call to watch we can’t refute, We sit and stare, comment and whine As some just flounder past the line. Yet for one the end is sweet The entire cake they’ll get to eat, Battered, bruised and mighty sore Now almost at that White House door.
