Regina Elliott Poet Rhyme

Get The Popcorn Ready

Oh, the 2024 U.S. Presidential election race,
as I ponder on it with my head's empty space.
Our nation is so out of joint,
our political differences at a breaking point,
with name calling rife in online blogs,
I would rather listen to bellowing bullfrogs.

Republicans, Democrats, Independents,
liberal, moderate, conservative, it's malevolent,
people attacking each other,
well, if I had my druthers,
I'd nominate my hound dog mix, Beau
for President,
he'd legislate from a canine-run government.
He makes more sense than a lot of people do,
the inept Secret Service can pick up his poo.

In three months this election mess will come
to us voters so weary,
I think many of us will be bleary.
Keep your nerves steady,
and get the popcorn ready. ~

Gershon Wolf July 24, 2024 at 6:22 PM Gee, such a great suggestion for what the Secret Service can actually do -- pick up your dog's poo! lol... And, like you, I am bleary-eyed already from all the election 'malarkey,' to quote the beleaguered lame-duck in the Oval Office. ~ Gershon Regina Elliott July 25, 2024 at 8:46 AM Lol! Gershon, yes I'm definitely bleary-eyed too. Election night is going to be a long one, but I'm going to bed at 8:30 p.m. like I usually do anyway. Sending you a soupmail on the state of the U.S. political landscape this weekend. Shalom u'vrakha
