Notes About The Poem

Our 2016 Dilemma

Our 2016 Dilemma

Hope and change fell through
   A new selection due
Our choices will not do...
   No trust in shouting shrew 
Who may wear prison blue
   Opponent has no clue
Those 'status quos'...adieu
   No longer in our view
Gov waste we must subdue
   Inaction grew and grew
Frontrunner with hairdo
   Opponents can't undo
Reflects a mixed review
   Good business man, it's true
A movement set anew?
   Disaster or breakthrough?
And what can now outdo
   This mess that boils like stew
Brokered convention..zoo!
   Large riots may ensue
Outcome we can't construe
   November...happy...Whew!
Or grab the Tums, tissue...?
