Concession Speech
When a candidate loses,
That person must reach
All who gave their support
With a televised speech.
So I watched VP Harris,
The crowd fighting tears,
Though it didn’t do much
To assuage all my fears.
Yet she said what she had to
And offered her thanks,
Reassuring the voters
We need to close ranks.
If the fight isn’t over,
As Kamala said,
There’s a lot to be done
And four long years ahead.
