Notes About The Poem

I'm not sure if all politicians are nuts or not, or are we nuts for electing them over and over.

Gathering Nuts

Gathering Nuts
By Franklin Price

We the squirrels should look at Washington
Nuts have fallen to the ground
There's no shortage or variety
No doubt that they abound

Many of them rotten
Should not even take a taste
Been there for several seasons
It's a shame they've gone to waste

If we search. I'm sure we'll find
Some tasty and still great
That will take us through the winter
Before we starve and it's too late

This present harvest season
Throw the bad ones in the trash
They're not so good for anyone
Put the good ones in your stash

Boy, you've hit the proverbial, "nail on the head", with that one. Well done.
