Who Will Win the Debate

Who Will Win the Debate By Elton Camp Public housing is where you’ll live All type of criticism folks will give The public will either hate or extol For many things beyond your control Every move the press will scrutinize Let’s hope privacy you don’t prize You’ll do what the S.S. will allow To its rules you will have to bow Your wife a lot of carping will see Even though she really works free Even when your term is complete Still a crazed assassin you may meet Your life won’t belong to you anymore No freedom of movement you had before No matter which of you voters choose In reality, both of you are going to lose Perhaps the one who happens to win Will come to regret it again and again
