Sin City Hosts the Democrats

Sin City Hosts the Democrats
By Franklin Price

Sin City hosts the Democrats 
Who debate tomorrow night
The forum's in Las Vegas
Somehow that's only right

Candidates will play their cards
To show if they're all in
Spin the wheel and throw the dice
In hopes that they will win

To be the U.S. President
The leader of this land
Put on their poker faces
To show just where they stand

Play with our emotions
As they speak and verbalize 
I hope that what we witness
Will not damage ears or eyes

As they answer questions asked
 I'm sure often they will bluff
I hope no time I'm thinking
Finish now enough's enough

Hope no cards are up their sleeves
That there are no loaded dice
That civility is practiced 
Now wouldn't that be nice

When the evening is all over
And candidates have left our view
If we feel that we're the losers
Would be the same and nothing new

If we feel that we're the winners
Or that we're somewhere in between
Maybe there is still some hope
I think you know just what I mean
