Hard To Swallow and Follow

Hard to Swallow and Follow

Suppose what they tried was translucent
And we never, ever say where it went
Was in a form that became free-flowing
Skirt was too short so she started showing.

Some thought she was impeccable and adorable
While Republicans did say she was deplorable
What if in the middle it were to leave us
Could we really learn how to be a leftist.

Then there are those always the rightest
You can tell because they are up tightest
And if you do find this difficult to swallow
Will also have a hard time trying to follow.

Sounds like an adequate way to describe
the whole race myself. How about you?
