Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Hey Democratic Candidates

Hey, democratic candidates – 
Forget campaigns, forget debates.
Just toss your names into a hat,
Let Nancy pick and that is that!

The only way to win the fight
Is for all people to unite
Whose goal is simply to prevent
A reelection we’ll lament.

So Joe or Bernie, Liz or Pete,
Amy, Mike – accept defeat
And join behind the party’s pick
But do not wait – just do it quick!

The months are slipping by so fast
But well before the votes are cast
If we unite, we’ll have reclaimed
The torch from He-who-can’t-be-named!

Rico Leffanta February 26, 2020 at 3:11 PM Well said, but the election has been lost by Democrats blasting each other full of holes before Trump could do it! Not one is left standing to unite the nation or resolve the issues! Democrats certainly did not need the NRA to shoot themselves in the foot! Aloha! Rico

Hannah Borke February 25, 2020 at 11:24 PM You’re so genius with rhyme, but don’t get it politically. It’s an anomaly.

Gershon Wolf February 25, 2020 at 4:18 PM Cute one... of course, each of the candidates wants to protect his or her turf.... So, disunity carries the day for a while longer, until there's a clear winner. That's politics for you. :) Gershon

Jan Allison February 25, 2020 at 4:15 PM It's going to be months of political wrangling and I can't wait for it to be over... and I am thankful I only see a small amou t of the press coverage. Let's hope trump is out trumped this year ! Hugs Jan xx
