To Run For Pres of Usa

To run for President here you have to be old
You have to have wrinkles and smell like sour mold
You have to have brown age spots dotting your hands.
and pretend to care about competing high school bands.

It is best if you have white hair, no other color will do.
Our politicians are between ninety-nine and a hundred and two.
If you have dementia and cannot remember your name.
We are likely to vote you in repeatedly without taking any blame.
