Biden Limerick

Blog #133

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.
