Is this a call for Pence to be president? I guess non American would not get it.. Hope you have a wonderful 2019, and continue posting great poetry.. Congratulations on your first place..

It's more of a commentary that even though many of us think Trump is ridiculously unqualified for the presidency and would really like to see him removed from office, it wouldn't actually change very much, because his big fan Mike Pence would just get the job instead. (I agree it's probably a bit obscure for most non-Americans.) Thanks for the contest, BTW.
