The candidate VPs squared off tonight
And cordial were their gestures and their words
‘Twas Vance and Walz debating, seen and heard
Which could decide the race so very tight
Tim Walz was nervous, accurate, sincere
He told it like it was, his answers clear
J.D. was smooth, a good debater, he
His answers sounded good but full fact free
The audience that counts is really small
It’s those who undecided, still remain
Who view debaters, both, with mild disdain
And always want more facts to make their call
That’s what this late debate was all about
But will it make a difference, that I doubt

A challenge for your
Politics being the theme
Write me your haiku
Syllables each line
Are five then seven then five
It really is fun

Vote for Kamala
Ready to be President
Save democracy
Trump’s unfit to stand
Behind the President’s seal
Not ever again
MAGA’s looking back
But Kamala looks ahead
The future’s with her
Now’s the time to fight
For everything we hold dear
When we fight, WE WIN!

Trounced
Trounced, Trump was by Kamala, no doubt
She chewed him up then blithely spit him out
Debates, when won are good, be that as may
There still so much to do these final days
We know most voters little know the news
On adds and here-say many base their views
They have no context so to judge the facts
No basis whereupon to guide their acts
‘Though truths were told by Kamala last night
They flew with wings o’er heads and out of sight
So here’s the challenge, what we all must do
Relate to friends and family what’s true
It’s time to not be shy; time risk to take
Our way of life, democracy’s at stake
And I’m not overstating what will be
If Trump wins, we will have autocracy
But even when Trump loses he will gain –
Trump’s MAGA followers will all remain
To threaten those who turned against their man
Re-powering Trump’s dominance again

Our Future
(Last of the series)
In discoursing ‘round our future
What our future has in store
I’ll endeavor to synopsize
Why it’s worth our fighting for
It’s no casual remonstration
Should Trump take reigns of our nation
Constitution devastation
Gone our Freedoms, gone our Rights
Time we take our stand and fight

Kam’s Running Mate
In discoursing ‘round Kam’s VP
Pick, who’ll be her running mate
I’ll endeavor to synopsize
Why Gov. Walz, her pick, was great
Short JD’s prevarication
‘Bout Tim’s service to this nation
Tim Walz needs no false inflation
Truly loved within his state
Competence, outstanding traits

Prrceptions
In discoursing ‘round perceptions
Those of voters, this campaign
I’ll endeavor to synopsize
Why the Dems feel great again
Captured, Kamala, the nation
Dems all dancing in elation
Causing Trump deep desperation
While Trump stumbles nearly spastic
Kami trips the light fantastic

Fitness
In discoursing ‘round Trump’s fitness
Fitness to be President
I’ll endeavor to synopsize
What is clearly evident
Felon is he; sexist is he
Narcissist; “There’s only Me”
Sure dictator he would be
Trump’s intentions he’s made known
Laws he’d break to gain the throne
8/17/2024
Trump’s Hating
In discoursing ‘round Trump’s hating
Hating all who praise him not
I’ll endeavor to synopsize
What’s behind this hate he’s got
It takes little erudition
Penetrating his condition
Losses absent his admission
Fast decaying mental health
Trump deep down most hates himself
8/16/2024
Cunning Conning
In discoursing cunning conning
By a master of the art
I’ll endeavor to synopsize
How Trump split the Reps apart
Killed his foes by defamation
Lied sincere exaggerations
Captured hearts of much the nation
They became Trump’s MAGA clan
Worshiped him. Ne’er wrong their Man
