Watching and Waiting

America watched and waited
  for a debate to break out
Holding its nose at the shouting
  ~ 'til kindergarten let out

Great poem, my sentiments exactly. It was very distressing.

Hello Gershon … was that a debate! I’d prefer to call it a disgrace - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

Yes a disgrace, and yet another blot on America's landscape. I think that even some Republicans may vote for Biden, just to be rid of Trump. We'll see...

You're right. This is clearly a time of shifting sands and great uncertainty. :) gw

I have to say it is interesting that people are thinking it was kindergarten on both sides when it appeared terribly one-sided to me.

Well, I think it may have started out one-sided, but it turned into a slugfest, methinks. :) gw
