Enough Is Enough - In Bernie's Own Words

I’m running for President
But this time I’ll win,
Without our dear Hilary,
That caused such a din!

You’ll see I’m the man
The one they need beat,
Whatever they serve
For breakfast I’ll eat.

I’m steeled for the task
My lungs fully primed,
To galvanize crowds,
Their passions to wind.

Remembering lessons
From last time around,
I’ll pummel my colleagues,
Right into the ground.
My passions undaunted,
No weapon too harsh,
They won’t know what hit them
As they spin out and crash.

Let not thoughts of age,
Nor leanings too left,
Fool you to think
I’m no longer that deft.

The other old man
That’s now in my sights,
May as well pick his grave,
As I read him last rites.

So just watch me work
As the contest unfolds,
For when I but sneeze
Others catch colds.
