This poelitic was inspired by an article in the 9/18/16 Daily Kos by Catskill Julie.
Past the age of visual candy
Past where sex is passion dandy
Past convenience, being handy
Older women lose in sight of men
Men by nature chauvinistic
Based on feelings atavistic
Showing in the poll’s statistics
Biasing against a Clinton win
Not all men are biased this way
‘Though enough, results it could sway
Still an uphill battle each day
She’ll need every vote that she can gain
9/18/16
A lot of Bernie Sanders’ devotees
Especially the youngsters, new to vote
Feel so betrayed; his campaign didn’t float
It’s Clinton’s fault; she beat their nominee
With Bernie’s stern remarks he set the stage
Excoriating Clinton in their eyes
She is the living devil in disguise
And now they’re being asked to turn the page
So, Bernie, time for you to hit the stump
And bring these wayward kids back in the fold
To rise and vote for Clinton, that’s the goal
Or they’ll be stuck the next four years with Trump
9/18/16
It’s time to take Trump seriously
In polls he’s closed ridiculously
But one I view quite curiously
On truthfulness he’s polling over her
One thing Trump does so artfully
Is telling falsehoods forcefully
Thus, conning people cunningly
They buy his lies as gospel, every word
Another trait insidiously
Defies all press mendacity
When after acting horribly
Trump gains slight self-control, they crown him good
It’s time to take Trump seriously
And wake your friends and family
To challenge them most vigorously
No matter what’s their party, vote for her
9/17/16
Trump, today, renounced his birthy
Nonsense; pompously pronouncing clearly
That the President was really
Born within the good old USA
But he didn’t truly buy it
For expedience he’d try it
Blaming Clinton; what a riot!
‘Though ‘twas central to his campaign’s sway
Eight years long he voiced these falsehoods
Trump’s campaign is fraught with bad goods
But supporters with him still stood
Trumple, in their eyes, was a-okay
Trump’s convinced that we’re all stupid
All his lies have left us dupid
While he plays the role of cupid
Trumple, in our eyes, will rue the day
9/16/16
She’s back in the campaign again
Back where she’s gathering friends
Since the polls have drawn so close
It appears they’re nose to nose
But those numbers will not remain
She’s back making speeches once more
Telling what all she is for
And all the things she’s done
The improvements she has won
Forecasting all that’s in store
She’s back telling facts about Trump
All those untruths that he dumps
How unfit he is to lead
As our President; indeed
We welcome her back on the stump
9/15/16
For better or for worse
In sickness and in health
As benefit or curse
Toward poverty or wealth
That’s what the future brings
Depending whom we choose
Devolving to these things
It’s joy or sing the blues
It’s Hillary or Trump
If you’ve yet made no choice
With spirits in the dump
Perk up. Let’s hear your voice
There’s nothing new to know
About the candidates
‘Till they go toe to toe
Soon at the great debates
9/14/16
A tisket a tasket
I’m in the Trumple basket
Some label me deplorable
But I think I’m adorable
Tell that to all them blacks
At tisket a tasket
I’m also in his basket
Deplorable describes me not
And I ain’t prejudiced, not me
But Muslims kill, that’s fact
A tisket a tasket
If you ain’t in his basket
Then you’re the one deplorable
This country’s yet restorable
We’re going to take it back

Have you wondered in this context what is chosen to be NEWS
What reporters fasten onto in their TV cable casts
For example, dominating all the nightly caster’s views
Was that Clinton caught pneumonia. Commentators had a blast
Somewhat lost in all the hubbub was an offhand Trumple threat
To Iran he blithely said he’d shoot their boatmen in their boats
If these boatmen gestured grossly at our ship – they’d meet their death
This would start a major conflict, were he honest in his boast
But reporters showed no interest when they parsed the day’s events
All the air time went to Clinton, how her sickness day was spent
9/12/16
I find it ironic and clumsily comic
Our standards aren’t fixed, we concur
For rightly or wrongly they do differ strongly
Depending to whom they refer
That Hillary fumbled and pulled a true Trumple
Had all the reporters aghast
This once she just blew it and everyone knew it
She called Tumple’s followers trash
But all through this season without rhyme or reason
Trump foully referred to his foes
His followers cheered him; to them it endeared him
The Press answered: that’s how he goes
But one thing delights me; the Press called it rightly
To hold Clinton’s standard way up
She wronged Trump’s supporters, it’s clearly reported
By telling them they were like Trump
9/11/16
I watch every evening political news
As much as four hours, no matter the channel
It’s all about Trumple no matter how banal
And not about Hillary, giving her views
It doesn’t surprise me that Trumple is gaining
We see only Trump telling unchallenged lies
Each untruth sufficient to cause his demise
The sum overwhelming to pundits explaining
Trump’s daily reality show is succeeding
In smothering other political news
The press is disservicing those who must choose
Our next president based on Trumple’s deceiving
