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 ____________________________________________ *By the term 'fellow' I have no intention of offending anyone undergoing gender reimagining, racial composition detoxification and reincarnation, or sex- ual preference alteration, so help me 'God,' The Force,' 'Ms. God,' 'The No-God,' Zoroaster, Zeus, Jupiter, Jesus, Mohammed, Allah, Buddha, Antifa, BLM, AOC, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Karl Marx, 'The Current Oc- cupant of the White House,' whoever ze, zi, za, zu, zo may be. Whew! Thank you! :)

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.

I'm for Mickey Mouse myself for President. Maybe he'd build a better Mousetrap for cheesy politicians... Thanks, Andrea. :) gw

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

I once worked in a prison. They used to say that the only difference between the prisoners and me was my uniform. ~ gw

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

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

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. Thanks, gw

No kidding?! You can really select 'None of the Above?!' Interesting... What happens if over 50% of the ballots are marked for 'None of the Above?'... Please let me know. Thanks, gw
