Notes About The Poem

Please go to the polls and cast your vote for the best of the bad choices, We the people are already at fault for where we are. At least take some of the responsibility for that.

Two Days Away

Two Days Away
By Franklin Price
11/6/2016

Two days away and closing fast
Next Tuesday's chance will be the last
To cast your vote for president 
The future White House resident

Only two still have chance
To wear this country's leader's pants
Neither one is much admired
Yet Tuesday one of them is hired

If you care must cast your vote
Though either one will rock the boat
Will float or sink the ship of state
For whom you vote you must relate

One has been a part for years
Of Washington, how it appears
Of what it does today for you
The monkey in the public zoo

The other hasn't been a part
Yet promises to pull the cart
To put this country back in place
To grow again and save our face

The former says there's room for change
Establishment to rearrange
Respect the people once again
They've lied before and it's a sin

The latter with bad choice of speech
Says that  recovery's in our reach
Together we can make things right
If we together fight the fight.

Go to the polls and don't stay home
From Florida and North to Nome
Follow your heart and have your say
Of who will win election day

great rhyme, nicely done, you don't hint at your vote, but the message to get out and vote comes through loud and clear

Thanks for visiting and for getting the point. Of course I have an opinion and a vote, but I am only one of We the People and we all have the freedom to make a choice.
