BLUE BALLOONS

ELECTION!

Author's Note

Heed the note
twas essential to vote
you bear the right
hence, the race was tight

Divided to the end
let's prove to make amends
no more quirks
hustle to deliver the works

Count, count wait
the hour turns late
we press to stop
our blurry eyes a pop

We take him out
deserves a whopping shout
the world's aglow
aged Blue mastered the show

The world is watching and thinking what on earth is going on. Today alone he dropped one lawsuit and added threats of more, while his own party seem to be squirming in embarrassment.
Now it’s all eyes on the 20th where the decision must be made and even the non political will be watching it like it’s eviction night on big brother.
I’m looking forward more to January and seeing him dragged out onto a helicopter with a hood on. Is Guantanamo still open? Could drop him off there and take away his WiFi 😀
And yes, we do have a cheek, considering our pm looks like one of his parents may have been a blacmange 😀

once the vote is in ... the election is over .. there is strong argument that can be made to substantiate making sure all votes are #1 legitimate and #2 all properly counted ... the shaking of trust in our vote .. kicked into overtime with "Russian Collusion" accusations based on a report "the Steele Report" .. bought and paid for by the DNC .. who began "plan B" as it looked like Hillary Clinton may not win. The author of the Steele Report refused to corroborate its contents himself. None of it could be substantiated ..but this story goes on and on ... my opinion is that foreign entities always have and will attempt to influence leadership and direction .. and as far as Communism goes .. they are delighted to cause any and all lack of trust in our system and love to see any of our leaders mocked and ridiculed .. its "take over 101 says i .. and has been going on for decades :( ... when all the States certify the results .. and 6 have not at this time .. the president will be acknowledged ... most likely Senator Biden's lead will be affirmed and celebrating is in order ...don't forget, however, 72 million+ citizens voted for President Trump .. his platform and because of what he has accomplished towards those goals; which sadly remains...very poorly covered .. i am with you about making amends ... i am almost 72 yrs old and vote in all elections as an Independent these days .. and have never experienced such vicious personal attacks and name calling in my lifetime ... its disgusting .. like children one and all ... obviously it is "your world" that may be aglow ... and i am happy for you .. mine remains very cautiously and prayerfully hopeful at best... i am at peace .. there are far larger pictures in the universe than politics .. i will offer my personal congratulations when all the dust settles ;) peace and joy!

Thanks for review and your opinion; I happen to agree with you on many issues; I fear trouble is in the making for the next 70 days and it's hard to believe that we are all going through this... I hope the ARMY pulls a coup and takes him out!!!

[Betty Hermelee]

[Einstein Noodle]

This is such a great poem, Betty. Congratulations! The resultant undiplomatic aftermath is an insult to a wonderful country. The President Elect has already displayed dignity and diplomacy.

Hey Emma, thank so much! Yes we knew we would have terrible consequences with Trump exiting his post...it’s very troubling...xo B

and yet the other side is just not conceding, for various reasons, and it is such a debacle.

Who cares? the country cares, and this person in his first press conference has already acted way more presidential than the previous one in all of his put together.
It is all such an embarrassment for our country.
we shall see where it goes from here.

[Betty Hermelee]

Thanks for the review... of course it’s a complete debacle, but we all knew this would happen....no surprise here. Best, Betty

You are clearly delighted with the results of your recent election. Betty. I hope Mr Biden is able to unite your divided country. Yes, those who chose not to vote can't complain about the outcome. All good wishes.

Chris

[Betty Hermelee]
