This doesn’t feel like a national election.
It feels like a hyped-up sitcom production,

poorly acted and the lines are all bad.
Not worth watching twice and it’s just sad

how we show the whole world this travesty
and the joke we’ve made of our democracy.

The tin man 
finally has his day, 
the tide turns, 
the polls sway, 
the nation reflects 
his flip flop way, 

totally unaware,  
caught up in the game 
that turns integrity 
into the shame 

it so deserves 
after all these years 
of blatant slaughter 
to soothe the fears 

of the chosen clan 
sitting on high
asking in earnest 
we kiss our asses goodbye.

    1. Yeah, from out of no where people are commenting on my blog. That rarely happens.
      Anyway, I think it's strange the republicans are offended by Biden's reaction to Ryan. Don't they know people will always laugh at clowns?
