The nasty election is finally over. Donald Trump will be our next president. Now we will see what we will see.

November Ninth the President
By Franklin Price
11/9/2016

November ninth the president elect is thought to be:
Donald Trump with outside chance will get the victory.
It's nip and tuck and hardly fought; the vote count is not done.
There are states that are so close still hard to tell who won

Democrats have gone home, the hour's Two A.M.,
Will be no concession speech tonight from Hillary to him.
The newsmen on the TV are trying to look good;
Saying that they knew it, it has happened as it should

They make me sick the way they act. They've blocked him every way.
Now it looks as if he's won, they'll kiss his ass today.
I hope it doesn't turn around; have a foul called in the race.
We the People now have spoken; establishment we're in your face.

He may not be the smoothest, a politician he is not,
We all must get behind him to see what he has got.
We've heard all that he's promised, now he will get his chance.
We'll see if he's got two left feet, or if he can dance the dance

Don't know if that will happen, still not saying he's the best,
Only that he's won the fight and outlasted all the rest.
The hour is two forty, and we just got the pump
Hillary has conceded with a phone call to the Trump

The struggle's finally over now the good work can begin
Donald Trump's acceptance speech, said we'll make us great again
We'll fix America together, cooperation is the word
America will be great again; at least that's what I heard.

Thanks for your comment. It's especially nice coming from you. This is very comparable to Brexit. We will, you and I, continue to see what happens with both. You're the best
