She actually posted this during the COVID scare
“Cancel Thanksgiving!” I’m not lying, I swear
My dearest wish this August 11 for Francesca Hong
Primary voters, please cancel her ~ give her the old gong

Jennifer’s uninhibited exuberance filled the room
she had excited zestfulness that swept away all gloom
her sprightly effervescent personality was on fire
the bosses quickly decided she would be their new hire
resumes are a start but, in this case, they threw it away
her ardent passion for their company had them cheering all day
Woman President
A dream come true,
I was always told it was possible
A woman president
Could anyone have predicted it
Many women have run for equal rights
in the past, we’re here and now
It might as well be you
Worn down is your spontaneous laugh
reduced to a serious hum
Working hard to keep our country free
Gee—wiz already you have made history
In the role of Vice Presidency
A dream come true,
I was always told it was possible
A woman president
It may as well be you
Kamala for President!

Me thinks Hillbilly Vance is too highfalutin'
A big corporate crack pot? Yeah, yer darn tootin'
Gimme Jed Clampet any day
Jethro, Granny or Ellie May
Not a hack for a huckster who praises Vlad Putin!

“Fellow Christians, everyone is watching us when we apologize for this man. Lord help us.” (2016)

A song for this:
The End of the Innocence by Don Henley
who is the best candidate...!
Biden stutter
or Trump spirochete!
A brand new candidate got elected
The present incumbent got ejected
Lambasted and rejected
‘Tis another novel dawn in America
‘Tis another extraordinary day at the plaza
Of love, unity, justice, far from any drama.
The streets are full of happy citizens
The children are playing safely in the streets
Bring the flags; bring the food and the sheets
To have festive barbeques under the tents
‘Tis the time to be elated
A new President got anointed.
There is a patriotic rainbow in the sky
America's nightmare is indisputably over
Our hope is well, reborn, alive and high
‘Tis another dawn of togetherness and power
Power to the People who've been yearning for better days
Long live America! It's time to wane the blaze and the haze.

One candidate will rave, lie, cheat and molest
The second seems ready to be a hospice guest
But we have a third choice
With a strong forthright voice
Half his mind is brilliant, but a worm ate the rest!
Doggedly pursuing all races, all creeds
hoping to please every last one
The hollow chamber on top of his neck and his shoulders
~ a blank check in the eye of each beholder
How lucky was the candidate
not elected...Lost the election.
but not his life !
That's for you A Candidate:
Often glancing at The Date
And on that day Exact Time,
Sometimes jolted by clock's chime
For the still much unprepared
With weakness to be soon bared...
That's for you The Candidate:
Always the first at the gate,
Himself long begun to prime;
To have not done so a crime.
Not a nice story "Exams hard!"
For election "Not on guard"
That's for us A candidate:
One tests and elections rate;
With defeat mourns each spent dime;
Lips of one who'd rushed down lime
But tomorrow plays same card,
Triumphing invites a Bard.
He deserved all our votes and said why,
But attention was drawn to his fly;
He'd left it unzipped,
So one voter quipped,
"If you can't manage that, then goodbye."

Candice is a candid candidate.
Her honesty harvests heretics’ hate
Not to be outdone
She creates lots of fun
Debunking deceivers during Des Moines’ Debate!
YOU HATE THE CANDIDATE!
You hate the candidate!
He is a populist demagogue –
dangerous, deranged and despicable!
You did it to yourselves! You developed
a “southern strategy”, reduced your once-proud
neighbors from citizens with a mission to whiny
tapped-out taxpayers, impatient and paranoid,
intransigent and scared! Sure of moral high ground,
you launched your religion into your neighbors’
bedrooms, their genetic histories, their public school
curriculums; made compromise a sin, shut down our
government only to re-open it with calls for a theocratic
state, dragging your god through the fear-funded
excrement of political campaigns, bad radio talk,
planned parenthood vigils, your vaunted Christianity
a department of corrections on a national scale
So, you hate the candidate! A man of anger and intolerance!
But you did it to yourselves, and like the petulant child
whose unforgivable negligence let the fire get out
of hand, you did it to the rest of us too!
