Finally They'Re On Tv

Finally They're on TV
By Franklin Price
8/4/2015

Finally they're on TV
Been waiting for so long
The presidential hopefuls
Are now where they belong

Too many to come all at once
Formats not all debate
Depends on popularity
On just how high they rate

The ones rated the lowest
Were seen first yesterday
We watched with expectations
To see what they would say

Was not all disappointment
They were given minutes five
To rise above the others
Or take a further dive

Each given their own questions
For which they had prepared
The boiler plated answers
Has got me more than scared

They did the political jitter bug
They did the song and dance
Sometimes was entertaining
For me was not romance

Perhaps the next round better
More will puff and spout
Hope some will make some honest sense 
Not raise much further doubt
