Notes About The Poem

Rediculous campaigning for the presidency

Just When We Thought

Just When We Thought
By Franklin Price
2/29/2016

Just when we thought that politics
Had reached the lowest it could go
They've stopped slinging mud by hand
Resorted to a big back hoe

There's only one who's good at it
Has done it from the very start
The other two for catching up
Are trying now sling their a part

They're digging holes and not a ditch
It's evident their mud is thin
Hard to throw, and will not stick
Thin mud slinging cannot win

Sadly equipped for taking part
Apprentices who should not linger
Get back to the issues quickly
They're up against a master slinger

Franklin: I read this awhile ago and it prompted me to write on of my own. I believe it may be my first this year. Thank you for your work and the prompting. I have been recommending your site to many. oldbuck

Thanks old Buck. we've got to become involved in any way we can to get all opinions out there. We all mean something. We should embrace that.
