Notes About The Poem

Will it never end, or will it end, when it ends us?

May Day - May Day - May Day

May Day - May Day - May Day
By Franklin Price

May Day, May Day, May Day
The US is in trouble
The left and right, without regard,
Endeavor, both, to burst the bubble

Neither tries to get along
To cross the aisle, they both refrain
Only a few flushes left
'Til all respect is down the drain

The Democrats are scrambling
To unseat the President
Who was elected by the people
And to Washington was sent

For two plus years complaining
That he should not have the seat
He surely must have cheated
The establishment to beat

They know the Russians helped him
Broke through the fire wall
Took over all computers
With the voting, had a ball

Engaged a man named Mueller
To investigate this joke
In every nook and cranny
Without exception, he would poke

Finally,  he was finished
Wrote a report, to end the fuss
Looks like it has not done a thing
But be ambiguous

Washington resumes again
To cloud the stormy skies
Attacking one another
We the People should despise

It's not a thing of beauty
These most ugly things I see
No respect for one another
Even less for you and me
