Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

Whereas, In Rhymed Couplets, I Solve All Future Election Problems

~ My Fellow* Americans ~   
 (Regarding Presidential Elections)

Let us amend the Constitution
so we can find a fitting solution
for every election where the selection
  of any candidate means indigestion

Here is what I propose
knowing that many will oppose
whatever upsets the status quo
  'cos at heart most change is a no-go

Let us put a box on each and every ballot
for 'Neither of the Above,' and then shall it
poll a majority of electoral votes -- Hear, Hear:
  We'll leave the Oval Office empty for four years!

Now before my idea you diss and you ding
Consider carefully this very significant thing
Your house is white -- Do you need a boss?
  Well, neither does our nation ~ All is not lost

Rama Balasubramanian February 4, 2021 at 12:17 AM Then we have re-election with new candidates

Andrea Dietrich February 2, 2021 at 1:41 PM hahaha. I agree. I wonder if everyone could all vote for Micky Mouse on the ballot. Even a cartoon character beats what we have these days in the White House. Gershon Wolf February 2, 2021 at 3:32 PM I'm for Mickey Mouse myself for President. Maybe he'd build a better Mousetrap for cheesy politicians... Thanks, Andrea. :) gw

Judy Ball February 2, 2021 at 1:26 PM Too much power in anybody's hands is usually not a good thing. We used to call them crooks, then hoods, then we called them Mobsters, then The Mafia, Then Big Business, Now we call them Politicians. Great job here Gershon. Loved it. God Bless, JB Gershon Wolf February 2, 2021 at 3:30 PM I once worked in a prison. They used to say that the only difference between the prisoners and me was my uniform. ~ gw

Rico Leffanta February 2, 2021 at 11:45 AM In Australia, voting is mandatory to ensure ewe get the sheep vote. Aloha! Rico Gershon Wolf February 2, 2021 at 3:21 PM Rico, if you post this as a monoku, fans would love it... On the other hand, you'd break the 'Longest Uninterrupted Limerick Posting' record. Decisions, decisions! lol. Thanks for the laughter. Smiles, Gershon

Linda Alice Fowler February 2, 2021 at 11:06 AM LOL to tears gw. I had to laugh. The movie, Brewster's Millions, with Richard Pryor and John Candy - a must see. Not a terrific movie, but an entertaining watch. :) laf Linda Alice Fowler February 9, 2021 at 7:57 AM In this case, none is better than some. ;) Linda Gershon Wolf February 2, 2021 at 3:15 PM Just checked out Richard Pryor's 'None of the Above' clips from Brewster's Millions. You're right, Linda. Between John Candy, Richard Pryor, and Brewster's Millions, tonight I'm selecting 'None of the Above!' lol.
