The Democrats Debate
The Democrats Debate
By Franklin Price

Last night I stayed up kind of late
To watch the Democrats debate
About the issues of this land
And where on each of them would stand
Televised on CNN
And hosted by the hotel Wynn
Debaters trying to connect
Had not a clue what to expect
Five of them there to discuss
Important things to all of us
Beginning only two I knew
Knew more of them when it was through
Beginning questions pertinent
Not much dodging as on it went
Most practiced some civility
Surprising both my wife and me
Were these politicians in our view?
That got along that's something new
Supposed to poke and finger point
And raise some hell to shake the joint
Was not to be at least not much
Seemed all of them were quite in touch
No verbal punching to the chin
Did not make worse this mess we're in
I hope the elephants watched this show
A lesson to learn was there you know
Answers direct at least for most
Was a debate and not a roast
