Candidate
That's for you A Candidate:
Often glancing at The Date
And on that day Exact Time,
Sometimes jolted by clock's chime
For the still much unprepared
With weakness to be soon bared...
That's for you The Candidate:
Always the first at the gate,
Himself long begun to prime;
To have not done so a crime.
Not a nice story "Exams hard!"
For election "Not on guard"
That's for us A candidate:
One tests and elections rate;
With defeat mourns each spent dime;
Lips of one who'd rushed down lime
But tomorrow plays same card,
Triumphing invites a Bard.
