Each day things keep changing, who’s up, rearranging
John Ratcliff’s nomination withdrawn
Not clear who’ll replace him, the DNI placing
Needs filled by Intel’s very own
More news is abundant, not being redundant,
But I’d rather focus about
Debates by our candidates, really how they relate –
O’Donnell was first to point out
The questions asked of them by channel-news pundits
Have little to do with the task
Of being the President with counselors resident
Specialist whom he can ask
‘Though Lawrence, correct is he, somewhat I disagree
Candidates need to be tested
Where strengths and where weakness be, open for all to see
To choose one who will not be bested
Debating candidates challenge the posing
Of records and policy points
But once someone’s chosen all ranks will be closing
Supporting that one, all will join
