True Grit

It's time to circle the wagons
because were getting attacked,
we can see the arrows flying
from way up in the back,
instead of having a peace treaty,
he chose the warpath,
just because were Republican,
and he is Democrat,
frankly, I didn't see this coming,
from a fellow poet on the soup,
I thought everyone here was friendly,
and not wanting to put up their dukes,
you think that Republicans are all to blame,
in your Democrat mind,
but if you think your going to force
me to vote for Hillary,
you must be a little insane,
its Donald or Hillary,
not much of a pick,
maybe what we need is a cowboy,
someone with true grit,
too bad we didn't have a candidate,
who wasn't so lame,
what we really need for a President,
is someone more like John Wayne.

Oh no, not John Wayne, Jan. I never liked the actor, not much better than Trump, at least on the screen. Got a laugh from your Chili poem and the fly in the soup. Thanks for the stop. Look forward to more of your humor. / M
