The Best Possible Candidate for President

 

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.)

I guess she'd do as well as anybody else. And I'll bet she'd never be seen in a bad photo.
