Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

At the First Debate

Hilary and Obama, woe-begotten
   'Centrists' like them long forgotten

Sanders' philosophy - Big Tent
   Bernie's, ahem, almost incontinent

Biden's supporting increased Medicare
   He'll smell grandma's and grandpa's gray hair 

O'Rourke's no 'Beta;' he's a Francis
   Around questions, he does artful dances

Ocasio-Cortez so wanted to run
   But paper ballots use too much carbon  

Wayne Messam's the Mayor of Miramar
   He's qualified for Vice-President of Miyanmar

Newark's ex-Mayor, the strident Kory Booker
   His pledge: In the Oval Office, no hookers

And lest we forget, there's Senator Liz Warren
   Claims to be 1/64th Indian, the moron  

Just can't wait for that first Democrat debate
   Twenty candidates -- every last one of them GREAT

P.S. Awtry April 25, 2019 at 9:21 AM great fun rhymes--especially Big Tent/incontinent! Gershon Wolf April 25, 2019 at 11:16 AM Bernie's people called me threatening to sue, but he's waived them off now, as he's too busy cleaning up the mess around the toilet in their office. LOL.

Tom Cunningham April 25, 2019 at 2:20 AM Haha I take it your not a big fan of politicians. Gershon Wolf April 25, 2019 at 11:15 AM Oh, but I am --- dead ones. LOL. Seriously speaking, a longtime friend of mine recently was appointed to the House of Representatives in Washington. This new fellow was (!) as honest as the day is long. No more! Within a month of assuming the position, he was defending Ilhan Omar's comment about 9/11, i.e., 'someone did something,' from those (such as Trump and others) who deemed it unpatriotic and/or indefensible. I was beyond shocked. It just shows that politics is the art of expediency, and nothing more ever. I feel badly for this fellow's wife and 9 children. I happen to know that they are ashamed to show their faces in the (Jewish) community in Chicago now.. And they should be! Hope she divorces him forthwith. A pox on all politicos. Thanks for the comment, Tom!
