Franklin Price Poet Couplet

Seventeen

Seventeen
By Franklin Price

Seventeen when will it stop
A traffic jam we need a cop
Too many think they're heaven sent
That they can run for president

Can't get together have a meet
A forum for that mighty seat
If they could just cooperate
They may have stopped at only eight

Another example of their plight
Won't work together only fight
Better soon find where it's at
Or four more years of democrat

Not so many on that side
Just a couple for the ride
Scrambling to present their point
Or maybe end up in the joint

How have the parties come this far
Think they're all drunk just left the bar
That would make a little sense
How else could they be so dense

Hard to decide who gets our votes
They are not lions they're only goats
One will lead us lambs astray
We'll find who it is on voting day

May not like it maybe will
I just know I've had my fill
Of  many posers now hell bent
Who think they can be president

Edward Johannes July 31, 2015 at 1:19 AM Very apt description of the situation. Can't believe it is seventeen now. Ed Franklin Price July 31, 2015 at 6:49 AM I've been thinking that, with a few more running, there will be enough left over, after the election to have more than a ready made cabinet; since they are all so inteseted in being part of the administration. Of course, that's if one of them bcomes president. Thanks for your nice comments.

Howard Tunick July 30, 2015 at 9:00 AM Good one Franklin. What a bunch of turkeys. Really seems hopeless. Franklin Price July 30, 2015 at 8:11 PM I think a lot of them are only running for the money. it's my understanding that the any special funds left if they drop out, stay with the person who was running. Don't know if it's true but that would explain why so many are running. sure isn't because they're qualified.
