Let’s be civil.

MY CHOICE …
WITH APOLOGIES TO DR. SEUSS
The pundits, the experts must all disagree
On their choice for the office of presidency.
They simplify issues that must be construed
As having more relevance than red or than blue.
Can Hillary win, or will she concede?
Will she fabricate stories? Is she guilty of greed?
Is her husband Bill, a help in this race
Since he favors free trade and once brought her disgrace?
Can Obama move past this terrible fuss
That caused him to throw grandma under the bus
While keeping his friendship with Reverend Wright
Though Wright seems quite angry at all that is white?
McCain is too old and to broke and to mean.
We cannot vote him into office, it seems.
A hero, for certain, of this all can agree.
But a hundred years in Iraq? Is it necessary?
The pundits, the experts must all disagree
On their choice for the office of presidency.
Their insight is biased, confusing, conjoined*.
I’m much better off just flipping a coin.
*Conjoined: …brought together so as to overlap
