Notes About The Poem

My suggestion for taking up as little time as possible to decide the one out of over twenty, so far. Could be more before debates arrive.

Your Choice For President

Your Choice for President
( a suggested method for democrats this next voting season)
By Franklin Price
6/3/2019

Who is your choice for president
Of all who chose to run?
To vote for them as “Idol”
Would be “American” for fun

When the final ones have entered
And debating fills the air
To cast some votes at evening's end
Would be something we could dare

Because there are so many
Divide them into groups of five,
By a drawing, fair and square,
To see how long they will survive

Ten votes, for each method sent,
Spread them out or all for one,
Must cast your votes, after they speak,
And before the rising sun

After the compilation
Has been totaled and is through,
The bottom three are outta there
Must find something else to do

The top two of each round move on
The rest of them are goats
They're then put out to pasture
Due to lack of cyber votes

The cycle then continues
Until only two are there
They move on to the primaries
To decide the one, if you still care

The winner meets the Elephant,
Who right now is Donald J.
Could be another opponent, then,
If the Asses have their way.
