After the Debate

Watched the political debate 
They parried well - like fencers 
It will soon be time 
   to make up your mind, readers
But before you decide 
   take a brief fantasy trip 
Re - read Tolkien's "Smith of Wooten Major"
  Remember the star on his brow 
Little do you know 
    what this world will bring you - what this world 
  will bring to America 
Escape for a while!
    it can ease your pain!

Wow. Love this, Matt. I watched it too. And I agree. We don't know what will happen. Kind of scary. A 7 here.
