On The Ballot

Two elderly men running for president One is already the White House resident Both are old, but one is a little older With many lies one is bolder But who will the people choose One wants a dictatorship, so democracy will lose One plays it by the book Some say the other is a crook!

Everything seems crooked looking on Joseph It seems like we are in meltdown..Maybe even Those who thought they had an agenda are Loosing touch? it could be God confusing them Weakening them.'

' Who will the people choose ? ' We'll find out after all votes are in. Always praying that things will be better in our world. I know you are too. My best to you, Joseph. Hugs, Brandy

such a political conundrum we face come November. Who will the people choose? I do hope the reigning dictator doesn't return...I fear the demise of our country. Enough said. Have a great evening, Sara

Brilliant rhymes, and well written about both these candidates. I hope people choose what they deserve deserve and not what they are fed to believe and trust.

As they say--you can't fool all the people all the time---one is trying hard to do that. Your ending line is the profound truth, Joseph.

Why are Americans allowing two old codgers anywhere near the Whitehouse. There is wisdom in old age, but there's also senility, and sleepy Joe is heading that way fast. The other one should probably be in jail.
