Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Watching the Debaters - Addendum 2

Watching the Debaters
Addendum 2 – The  Varsity
By Franklin Price
8/7/2015

This round a media fiasco
For me to write in verse
Presentation of the top ten
Was much different than the first

As always the moderators
Slanted the show their way
Immediately quite evident
That they had come to play

The stating of the questions
And to whom they were addressed
A water boarding process
But only few confessed

Candidates mostly held their own
Whether liking it or not
I think they showed us who they were
And what it is they've got

If they got together
Yes that's all the seventeen
Without the help of media
To see which way to lean

And honestly discussed
What this country really needs
Without all of the TV talk
And the hyber spacing feeds

Would find it's not about them
Mirrored fairest in the land
It's about this country's people
The real players in the band

So this is my opinion
There was not a victor's fist to pump
Only one who looked quite foolish
And that was Mister Trump

Bill Lindsay August 7, 2015 at 9:57 AM Too true. Politics = POLY, meaning 'many' and TICS which are 'blood-sucking creatures' ... ;) Franklin Price August 7, 2015 at 6:05 PM It's hard not to be negative. The voice they like to hear is their own. Their agenda alway questionable. A shame. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
