The Senate race

This is fictional so don't go looking this up

This is a poetic story
about a senate race
That turned to a catastrophe
and ended in disgrace

Mc'Bain was the new challenger
The incumbent's name was Rhodes
Mc'Bain was a conservative
Famous for verbal loads

Claimed Rhodes was a commie liberal
tax and spend democrat
He licked the butts of prostitutes
and dry shaved alley cats

Rhodes said Mc'Bain was a Neo Nazi
who'd cut all state programs
so poor kids and little old ladies
would eat from garbage cans

Mc'Bain's counter accusation
was Rhodes crossed dressed at night
His drag name was miss spends a lot
His favorite wig was white

Rhodes said Mc'Bain poisoned squirrels
at the local petting zoo
and laughed like an evil villain
when little girls boo hooed

The slander went from bad to worse
Negative ads they ran
Mc'Bain they called a Corporate stooge
Claimed Rhodes spied for Iran

Then there was the debate disaster
With back and forth name calling
When Mc'Bain said Rhodes licked donkey balls
The two men started brawling

They rolled around upon the ground
The fists and feet they flew
The crowd was screaming kick his a*s
For whom nobody knew

On the day of the election
The turnout was so poor
Rigging congregational districts
didn't matter anymore

It cost fifty million dollars
To gain that senate seat
Mc'bain rose up to victory
Rhodes crashed into defeat

Mc'Bain he got his senate seat
in a disgusting race
Where lies fear and hysteria
were used to make his case

Democrat or Republican
Both sides spoon feed up tripe
Remember the words of Flavor Flav
and don't believe the hype

Now take that Weiner! What a wiener he is - but justice prevailed on that front, even in NYC. He only got 5% of the vote - but you just have to wonder about that 5%, don't you? A big smile for your poem, BR. It's certainly a lousy system for picking our leaders.

We're getting lousy choices now a days is why. Thank you Joyce

I am so sick of politics, I could puke. We need leaders who are really concerned about this country to stand up. All this bullshit on the news channels day in and day out. It is all a game and we are the tokens. Gaaa. Don't get me started, Baby! Angi~

Oh, I think it should say senate up in the title, mister. ;P

[Baby Ricochet]

Oh crap. I spelt it wrong. Thanks

[Will]

I like this. A somewhat comical but telling tale of American politics and how nasty and even perverted they can be. Well done

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Will

I think the problem is we want to believe. It's easier than thinking for ourselves. You give great pen.
