As Dylan would sing,... When will they ever learn? When wil they ever learn?

The Democrat Debate
By Franklin Price
10/16/2019

Could not believe what I was watching 
On the the Democrat debate
The outset not surprising
Has been no change of late

The direction of the great event
Set by the CNN
Further hurt the left side
With impeach Trump to begin

Dwelling on impeachment
Not their job there on the stage
Should have been what they would do 
Of some substance, we could gage

The USA is searching for 
A stabilizing ride
Impeachment's for the Congress
That's the place to stem the tide

Some of the nerdy dozen
Voiced how to sing along
And mentioned their concerns about
Helping write impeachment's song

Their object is replacing Trump
What they'll do, they should have said
Looks like the gators in the swamp
Are very far from dead

They should take a lesson
From what JFK would say
It's not what our country does for us
But what we do for it today
