Debate Nonsense -- Epigram

Debaters may boast who talks the most, but the most votes, ladies and gents,
are won with the most common sense, and a dollop of dollars and cents.

Submitted Friday the 13th of May 2022, for the “Killing with an Epigram Poetry Contest” sponsored by Margarita Lillico

Most debaters, ironically, have little to say, and common sense is getting hard to find! Very clever, gl in the contest-

Heh, heh - right you are, Eric. Not much has changed since the days 100+ years ago when Chicago pols threw the factory workers in beer-wagons, and they'd drink to their hearts' content to vote for the candidate with 'the best hops!' :) gw
