Notes About The Poem

We finally have a representative for both the Democratic and Republican parties. Here's my view of what I believe we have. It is what it is.

Now That It Is Settled

Now That it is Settled
By Franklin Price
6/8/2016

Now that it is settled
For the Elephant and Ass
Who will be the winner
The answer's in the looking glass

Neither very popular
There are several reasons why
Can one help our recovery
Or will either make us cry

The Elephant appropriate
With all his trumpeting
Running down the opposition
Blustering is just his thing

The Ass is also apropos
She's stubborn as can be
But will she pull the plow for us
We'll have to wait and see

There's talk of a third party
That may come along the way
No super hero I can see
In the wings to save the day

Our need is for a shaker
And a mover as the POTUS
Must determine who to vote for
Elephant and Ass this is your notice

The people of this country
Are tired of government
By those who are elected
And don't care why they were sent

Although we're in the doldrums
Or the wind is in our face
Must vote for one and not stay home
In this presidential race
