Crazy Train

Call me Gillespie 
At the thought of choosing sides
This all makes me Dizzy
Where ones befuddled and the other lies

White toothed grinning alligator
Beady-eyed crocodile
Which will we regret later
We'll find out for sure after awhile

One to build a wall to keep us all
Safe from those who want a home
The other swinging doors wide open
Sweeping out deplorable's

Reading from the dictionary 
They would make a lot more sense
Starting out with the B's
Blah, Blah, Blah, He said, She said

I wonder when we the sheeple
Will stand up and call their bluff
Give this all back to the people
Finally say enough's enough

Is this the best they have to offer
Who's to win this losing game
Will it be the constant cougher 
Or the billionaire that's clearly insane

Sadly, this crazy train needs a conductor
To carry this fragile freight 
Watch out for the Loco-motion though
As we jump track on this runaway

I know Mike, there's not much of a choice this election year as described in your Crazy Train poem! Another unique one with a train twist to it!:)
