Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Hem and Haw

	       Hem and haw, Mr. Candidate
                  Just beat around that bush 
               When all you do is stall for time
                  You surely cover your tush

                You open your mouth and words fly out
                    I’d swear that you said something
                 But as I reran your speech on Insta-Gram
                    I see that you meant nothing

Terry Flood July 10, 2026 at 5:17 PM In a nutshell… is the expression that springs to mind. Nicely put and spot on accurate. Terry Gershon Wolf July 11, 2026 at 8:54 PM Better than in a bombshell, lol.

Joseph P. DiMino July 10, 2026 at 2:52 AM Most all of them self serving. More about enriching self than the world. Many of them dirty, why they seem to cast such outrageous votes defying common sense. Notice the sick and twisted candidates supported by party bosses, because they are easier to blackmail. Continue to play ball or else. The worst examples in Communist, Socialist societies. Democrat Socialist, an oxymoron. Politics -- power to control and steal.
