And the Winner Is...

The race continues--a race that's been

On the track for a number of years

To see who can be the most obnoxious

And earn the loudest misapplied cheers.

 

For the longest time we've seen

Donald Trump taking the lead,

But Ron DeSantis° and George Santos°°

Without a doubt are picking up speed.

 

Who can tell more lies than the others,

Pour more salt in the nation's sores,

Support the most exclusive laws,

Or perpetrate more culture wars?

 

Being on the right side

Of history should be a goal.

Each of the three men mentioned above

Sadly, though, has sold his soul.

 

Other runners aren't far behind.

They are almost as loathsome, as loud.

None of the racers realize

That winning this race should not make them proud.

 

For the moment, DeSantis and Santos

Are trailing Trump, but by and by,

Will one of the them pull ahead and win,

Or will it be a three-way tie?

The only good part. Trump will erase the other two. The bad part. Trump will be left.

I hope not. I am moving to Finland Bob. It is funny. Watching the Republican party. Destroying each other will allow the Democrats to win. Outstanding words and thoughts my friend.

A political offering. We have our own brand of obnoxious politicians over here. None of them are worth voting for. I wonder who will win the race for most obnoxious in your part of the world. Nicely penned stanzas Bob.
