Where's America's Can-Do Attitude

Where is America's 'can-do' attitude
    when it comes to the 2024 debacle
  If it's Biden against Trump again
    won't we feel we've been shackled --

  to a House of Horrors, chains on the left and the right
    Why won't we Americans even put up a fight
  Let's threaten the networks which air the debates
    that we'll shut off our tellies at a minute before eight 

  And as for primary voting, let's all vow to skip that
    If it's Biden vs. Trump -- How the hell can we stand pat
  Let's round up some candidates who'll go to the mat for Ukraine
    who are ready to dig pipelines and boost nuclear power again

  Candidates who intend to balance the budget THIS VERY YEAR
    not trick us with gimmicks, wherein massive deficits disappear  
  Candidates who know how to put the 'Woke' in their place
    and let go of the elites' obsession with gender and race  

  No more Men or women who snub their nose at our laws
    and berate those who challenge them with the lewdest guffaws
  Come on Americans, let's dig in and roll up our sleeves
    and round us up some Presidential timber before Autumn Equinox Eve
