Poetry

 
By Elton Camp
 
The Democrats know exactly who their man will be
Although what the Republicans will do remains to see
 
But a simple fact that both them may well need to face
Neither of them has put the best possible one in the race
 
There is one who has known both poverty and riches
And what can come to one who gets in and pitches
 
And to all types of people this one is able to relate
And few, if any, hold any prejudice of any hate
 
This candidate is a person neither too young or old
And makes own decisions, not doing as is told
 
Another qualification is a history of job creation
That has helped many people throughout the nation
 
Not a single hint of scandal has there ever been
Though the press has watched since way back when
 
The original mate has never, ever been dumped
So that someone younger then can be humped
 
This person’s intelligence is extremely high
Giving judgment as to the right things to try
 
Foreign heads of countries absolutely wouldn’t dare
To try to deceive one who is proven honest and fair
 
The image of the USA would dramatically rise
If this person should gain the presidential prize
 
And just who is this fabulous person you say?
Just take a close look down Tennessee way
 
There is one who has well earned her fame
Find out that Miss Dolly Parton is her name
 
(I’m pretty sure she isn’t interested in being president, but she’s a person I honestly admire.  As she says, she isn’t blonde and she isn’t dumb.)
