Time to weed out the candidates- there's gotta be fun some where


Me Versus the Candidate

Oh, you’re a farmer , I never woulda guessed,
Them’s not overall’s, I’m really impressed,
---This guy is running?, I’m really depressed,

For Menial work I’ve been rejected
But things ‘ll be great when I’m elected’
---He’s about the worst of the gang selected

Just wait my promises, are a guarantee,
Big money can’t phase the likes of me,
---Try a two dollar bill, then we’ll see,

Just mark that ballot and vote me in
Then you’ll be part of a great big win
---For you maybe ,but what happens then,

I’ll fill your cup to the very brim,
With milk and honey runnin over the rim,
---A real BS’er from the looks of him,

I’ll get right on it, my record is strong ,
They’ll shout my praises and sing my song,
---Feller, I cain’t hold my breath that long,

The parasites in Washington, are feeble minded lame,
All my competition is just about the same,
---Feller, you admit it, and you’re in the game,

The primary is tomorrow, I hope you’ll be fair,
I’ve been sinking in the polls, I need you to care,
---Sorry old Feller, ,but my cows ain’t been there!

Great poking fun at the way politicians curry (they stole that word from our horses, dammit!) our favor asking for bucks and votes so they can leave us behind and join the ranks of the wealthy without having to work like the rest of us.

Those quips are really great.

Hi Tom, your new format - with the inner critical space - is a refreshing departure from your usual couplets. Like it: so you, too, want to have a dig at the viscissitudes of the polls, a theme that seems to hound AD commentators, especially since the duo Trump-Biden have taken hold of the centre stage. Good that you focus attention on the outsider who could just as well be the subject of scrutiny. In the ultimate analysis, WHO isn't grist for the satirist's venom ? Enjoyed.
Best to the Boss-Lady as well (ONLY don't make the mistake of putting her under your scalpel even as a joke !!!). Best. TW
