Notes About The Poem

And so it goes

Home of the Free

Home of the Free

Home of the free I have my doubts
They're more and more each day
Especially when it's voting time
And the Parties come to play

Staunch Republicans and Democrats
The ones dyed in the wool
Think the RINOs and the DINOs
Should jump fully in their pool

Should not look at all the choices
Don't vote your chosen one 
The Parties chose them for you
Should be over said and done 

Chose several whose integrity 
is questionable at best
Then  a few that may be good for us 
Fill the menu of the rest

They screwed up a little 
In the choices they've  allowed
There's an outspoken Apprentice
And a Socialist in the crowd

The Parties thought they'd do it
To give some semblance of choice
But if you vote for either
They try to take away your voice

The Parties let them come to play
When they did well could not resist
Are interfering with the process
As for me, I'm really pissed

For those who voted for the two
If either was your choice
You should be pissed also
As they take away your voice

You tell them how it is Franklin - It's funny, like you I get my pen out when I'm moved enough......fortunately we're easily moved. Great stuff.

thanks Dennis, politics, politics, politics... Don't leave their heads in when you pull their bodies off.
