Now we have to wait to see what happens

The Aftermath of Midterms
By Franklin Price
11/7/2018

The aftermath of midterms
Is quickly taking shape
The Democrats have won the house
Yesterday they broke the tape

Republicans have the Senate
May have even gained a few
The question to be answered now
Is, what will this congress do?

Now that there is some balance
For the folks up on the hill
Maybe they'll think of We the People
For most of us have had our fill

Initial voices heard today
Now that all have left the polls
Until one party has it all
That will not be their goals

Attacking one another
Will be there for quite some time
No care for ones who put them there
Save that for another time

Looks like We the People
Are not the ones they care about
Now we'll have to wait 'til '20
To vote their stupid asses out

I would like to be an optimist
On the results of this last vote
And I pray it's not the way it seems
And they do not sink the boat
