There once was a seeker of office named Biden
Who thought he was qualified for offices because he had already tried them
But when it came time for time for him to get up and to speak
The Corona virus had just hit its peak,
And when they looked all over for him they just couldn’t find him.
The other candidate for the same office was named Donald Trump
Whose wits were stuck together in a bit of a lump
His only claim to high office was his family and dough
When they heard what he had to say, though,
They directed him swiftly right to the dump..
So when neither candidate for office was found to be appealing
They thought about the harm caused by that old-fashioned glass ceiling
And decided to limit entries to the big time race
Only to women who had earned a high place
A decision that left all the other candidates reeling.
When the country then looked at the result in perspective
It decided that decision had been quite effective,
That really women had rendered to all a great service
And when the men stopped being so nervous
They would have to concede: the old system was defective.
So the women opened the door to all under-represented,
And let more faces and colors for top positions be presented.
They challenged the white-men-only system of old.
With ideas that were positive and that were bold.
And they had candidates aplenty, all ready to go/
All fully prepared, and quite in the know.
.
Not everyone was pleased with all the new voices;
But most were at least happy to now have more choices.
Then the Corona virus came along, and revealed a hard truth,
New leadership was needed, and for immediate use. .
For many, sadly that lesson came too late,
And now many are left to a very sad fate.
