To Have Fun With the Candidates
By Franklin Price

To have fun with the candidates
Should not cause any fuss
For after all most every day
They're having fun with us
Trump is a real playing card
Ted would like to Cruz to a win
Jeb's just beating 'round the Bush
Rubio thinks he's a Gem
Fiorina's whole wheat flour
Then there's honey Huckabee
We should be in a Santorum
There's a Christie cream to see
The taste could make a Kasich
Costing way too many Rand
Wouldn't like to drive their Carson
Maybe a Republican
The leprechaun O'Malley
Feels the Bern socialistically
If he's going to make it to the top
Has to climb the Hillary
So confused there are so many
Hard to see how I should vote
Who won't lead us lambs to slaughter?
Who won't be a Judas goat?
Guess that wasn't funny
Well it wasn't meant to be
Be careful what you're looking at
Is what you think you see
Nutritious noodles, curled like worms in a dish,
Served with sauce in a salad; stuffed with fish.
Veiled with vegetables… making a perfect pasta.
Superb, succulent, smooth and rolling in… strata;
Hot from the oven, often boiled before it’s baked.
With my fork I pick them up, just like worms… raked.
Filled with buckwheat, rice and whole wheat flour,
Yummy in my tummy, I can take it every hour;
Noodles can be nasty, dropping from the spoon…
Tasty and tempting, they can make you croon.
Are you I search of pasta… that is just perfect?
Then noodles are just nice… you can’t neglect!
