The debates are coming. Can't wait for all the fun. Seriously, how good can this be? I'm expecting the worst and hoping for the best.

Presidential Debating
By Franklin Price
9/2/2016

Presidential debating 
Will be a little strange
Only two to listen to
Not many to arrange

Just Hillary and Donald
Throwing lefts and rights
The only ones left standing
After the preliminary fights

We the people will be lucky
If we hear some substance there
In politics as love and war
All and everything is fair

One's a liar, one's a fool
Neither one of them's correct
Too bad we can't recall them
For unrepairable defect

Hope I'm wrong about all this
Hope one can rise above the fray
Hope one of them will be worthwhile 
Hope we don't have to rue the day

Well put in rhyme. Subject a part of progress? So it is to hope for the best and hope somehow we will be truly blessed. Peace, Love and Joy.

Indeed, we should always have hope. With hope and belief, great things can happen. Maybe this election can break the do-nothing log jam that is our government. Thanks for your comment, please come again.
