Joe Biden
We welcome Joe Biden, who’s entered the race
It now counts to twenty who’ll vie twenty twenty
Joe may have his warts, other time, other place
In time intervening Joe’s learning’s been plenty
It’s easy self righteously for some detractors
To judge past behaviors against modern mores
The juniors among us unable to factor
Political climate in judging past stories
So let’s look at Joe who has learned from his past
Who’s had more experience than all of the others
In government justly, judiciously cast
Who’d rebuild our standing within the world order
Some worry that Joe’s not progressive about
Free healthcare for all, college classes, too, free
But Joe is a pragmatist, socialist not
Women’s rights, climate change, a more just economy
One characteristic above all to note
Joe Biden can beat Trump come election day
Most middle America would for him vote
It would be a rout, my prediction I’d say
4/26/19
