Up Up and Away

Up, up and away they said, as they sailed over the blue and the red, hugging each other and holding on tight, the Donald and Hillary on election night, For my sore eyes got my binoculars out, I followed their moves in the sky, no doubt, both of them full of hot air in the balloon, living it up before it ended too soon, And then there was a paradigm shift in the wind, the hot air balloon started to descend, the frenemy's in the basket a case, they both realized they were done in the race, Driving up to meet the both of them, they both exclaimed it had been a lot of fun, but while on the wild ride they did a flip flop, Hillary now Republican, Donald now Democrat, With most of the votes counted and tallied up, Hillary and the Donald watched the electoral map, like a horse race derby for a long while neck to neck, neither one of them seemed to do a double check, Because they both knew when all was said and done, like two actors in a play the election outcome, The Donald already smiling and striking a pose, like in a horse derby race beating Hillary by a nose. 11-8-16
