(Since I donโt think Joe can be kept alive for much longer)
(I recycled this from one I wrote for Hillary, but she let me down)

A female President? โ What could go wrong?
In government one has to compromise,
And we all know the fairer sex is strong
In that regard, and too, unlike the guys,
Gals hold no grudges and they tell no lies.
Logical, clear-headed, rational, and
Like Solomon, judicious, fair, and wise.
Male politicians, on the other hand,
Behave in ways no one can understand.
So with a female leader we can live.
A change for good is sweeping oโer the land.
We need a President with love to give.
Into the depths ancient suspicions hurl,
And give the highest office to a girl.
โ D.N. OโBrien
It’s just as good recycled. But, somehow, the word “girl” just doesn’t seem to apply to Kamala. I don’t know how to explain it, but something in me just rejects the idea of describing her in a term that carries connotations of some degree of innocence and a touch of purity due to youth and less experience with evil. It seems to me that the evil at work in her and promoted by her is way to deep and well-developed for her to still be called a “girl.” Of course, as a poet, I guess you’re sort of stuck with that word for your last line. ๐
How about: “Into the depths ancient suspicions throw,
And give the highest office to a hoe.”…..sorry Sandra. ๐
Hope all is well with you.
Oooops, I’m bringing out your naughty side. But your ability to take an alternate set of rhyming words and make them work just as well is obvious proof of your talent as a poet. ๐
