Article: An Election as Empty as a Beggar's Pockets

Man showing his empty pockets

I've heard of "a nation divided in half,"
And with fear and trembling watch sundry graph,
Imagine broad streets where the right comes to rumble
And whack lefty chanters and give them a tumble,
Or food courts downtown that erupt in food fights,
Brokers v. janitors in defense of their rights.
.
But now I'm thinking this divide fifty-fifty
Might just be explained in terms far more nifty.
'Cause I really don't think most folks are extreme,
Nor voted for more than just one problem-theme,
Or gave wider thought to the issues of day,
But filled out their vote with a shrug "What duh hey."
.
They lacked but a quarter to in the air flip,
Since between candidates big difference was zip,
With the exceptions of each one's style and flair,
Joe's pleasant smile versus cloud of blond hair.
The choice beyond that was like Pepsi or Coke:
You voted your guy and got back to your yoke.
.
T'was more referendum than anything great,
A thumbs-up or thumbs-down on Donald Trump's fate,
An election as empty as the pockets of poor,
Of which in his admin. we see more and more,
But thanks to Prez Don the extremes are inspired,
So it's just as well that we've told him "You're fired."
