Political observation commentary. The debates
There Once Was
By Franklin Price
3/5/2016
There once was a rich man who spent
His own money to be president
You can tell when he stands
He has very small hands
And to the debates he soon went
He found as he started to speak
That the others their noses could tweak
Some came back at him
But there wits were quite dim
Heads were bursting and starting to leak
He did quite well in the polls
Twice as well as the other poor souls
He rose to the top
As the others did flop
They began setting downgrading goals
The media jumped on him too
His opponents began something new
Came out with rhetoric
That was really sophomoric
Even green slime they did spew
Then one of them said something grand
Its meaning we all understand
You know what they say
In bathrooms every day
About a man having small hands
With that they sunk lower than low
They contested how low could they go
Much lower than we
Thought we ever would see
Did not take him down and then so
The whole party joined in the fray
To take him down in whatever way
Dig up any dirt
Bring on losers to hurt
Guess that's politics of today
