Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Sneak Preview of the 'Big Debate'

    My opponent will destroy democracy
      But my opponent will normalize hypocrisy  
    
    My opponent pays hush money to whores
      Well, my opponent snoozes in meetings and snores

    My opponent’s in cahoots with radical progressives
       But my opponent’s tax cuts are regressive  

    My opponent is in bed with Putin
       Well, my opponent for Iran is rootin’

    My opponent’s spending will stoke inflation
      But my opponent’s plans will increase starvation

    Enough!  Stop!  Cut!  Halt!
       It’s not all the other guy’s fault

    All this negativity makes one thing clear
       I’m voting for the first candidate I can cheer

Robert L. Hinshaw June 27, 2024 at 4:46 PM LOLs, Gershon! You nailed it! A slug-fest I fear 'twill be; Who'll win, we''ll wait and see; We ain't got much of a choice; And have little about to rejoice! Robert L. Hinshaw June 27, 2024 at 8:20 PM Splendid performance by Trumpy! Joe looked like death warmed over and the dems are in panic mode. Gershon Wolf June 27, 2024 at 8:16 PM Well, just having listened to the debate, I was pleasantly surprised at how well Trump acquitted himself, for the most part. And no ranting or raving. That was good. Maybe there's hope after all. Maybe... :) gw

I Am Anaya June 27, 2024 at 2:26 PM Not bad! I really like the repartee, you really hit the spot. My favorite part... "It’s not all the other guy’s fault" I too wrote something. Gershon Wolf June 27, 2024 at 8:17 PM And now that the debate's over, what say you, Anaya?!

Kim Rodrigues June 27, 2024 at 1:58 PM I know who controls all the talking heads. They best remember who is watching. Sadly many politicians want to be a winner for themselves and not champions of their kingdom. (God, I pray for the soul of America!) Good write. Gershon Wolf June 27, 2024 at 8:17 PM Quite a low bar we've set for the two 'candidates,' eh?!
