If My Childhood Heroes Were President

Growing up in the 80's and 90's was the best decades for kids. We had the greatest cartoons and tv shows of all times. I thought I would pick a few of my favorites and thought what if they were POTUS.

He would use the ways of the force but not to manipulate      

He may be old and short but his skills, do not underestimate        
He wouldn't need no secret service, he wouldn't need no FBI                

His words speak truth plain and simple; do or not, there is no try     

He is equipped with a light saber; his tenure would be well spent     

That's the kind of things that woulds happen, if Yoda was President

He used to be an old ridgerunner but was finally able to settle down                             

Trying to raise a niece and two nephews on a farm in Hazzard town                                   

He knows a thing or two about the laws but would distill much loyalty                                 

And treat everyone the same no matter what; for faith, love, and family                                  

He'd probably make moonshine legal, probably lower taxes and rent                                

That's the kind of things that would happen, if Uncle Jesse was President

He just loves it when a plan comes together, for he is a skilled mastermind                       

He's got protection with B.A. and he's got Murdock, who is great at flyin'                       

Face-man would give him all the intel and that makes them A great Team                           

He would be leading the nation in the right direction; the American dream                    

He'll smoke cigars during press conferences but he'd bring accomplishments                 

That's the kind of things that would happen, if Hannibal Smith was President

He loves to wear all black leather and he's definitely an eighties and ladies man              

He's also a really good one man detective with his infamous talking Trans-Am                

He's got good people skills and he knows how to treat others with great respect               

He was once a cop but still does good work and won't take kindly to any threats            

He already has credentials, working for the Foundation for Law and Government              

That's the kind of things that would happen, if Michael Knight was President

He's got a real deep, metallic voice and his leadership skills is known throughout               

I'm sure with the help of Teletraan 1's intelligence, they'd help the economic drought                      

He's real compassionate and he loves the Earth, the people, and carries a big gun       

He'll stand up for humans and protect his friends against terrorism and Decepticons               

I'm sure he'll transform and spark this nation with a new level of sheer excitement       

That's the kind of things that would happen, if Optimus Prime was our President

He may only be a Latino Comic from California but hey my friends that is quite ok                

For I hope he allows stores to sell bigger size clothes and makes legal Taco Tuesday            

Many things need to be more "Fluffy Friendly" including those seats on airplanes         

And punish those who bully and pick on us just because our size isn't the same             

Well Martin can be his V.P. and his Entourage and Dave can be part of his cabinet                

That's the kind of things that would happen, if Gabriel Iglesias was to be President

There are so many characters from my childhood that I could probably mention too   

Lion-O from the Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, heck I'd even go with Scooby-Doo  

Darkwing or Howard the Duck, maybe the Ninja Turtles who happen to be mutants      

I'd be very happy if any of these were in the White House as our next President!

As always, I thank you! Sometimes we have to relive our past through our memories. If I only wish I would have taken better care of my toys back then lol.
