Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The politics this cycle is by far the worst I have seen in my life and I am 70 years old. There used to be a small question as to whether there was still government of by and for the people. That question is being answered this year one way or the other.

The Elephant

The Elephant
By Franklin Price
3/2/2016

The elephant, the animal
The mascot of the red
A party controlled by very few
Filling the people up with dread

They let a famous person run
As a Republican,  a joke
Would capture all the media
But not be voted by the folk

Surprise, surprise did not work out
The people had their say
They chose the joke by voting
Did not vote the party way

Now the party's scrambling
Bad mouthing all they can
To negate the population's vote 
For the joke, who's now the man 

The elephant's resigning
The replacement is the pig
Who wallows deeper in the mud
Provides the pork the party digs
