Duking It Out

The Dems duked it out last week.

The Democratic debate number three.

At the current time we have

Quite a political potpourri.

 

Cory Booker had his moments

Of passionate insight, charm, and wit.

Although his polling numbers are down,

Booker showed that he's got grit.

 

Klobuchar's our Minnesotan.

While sometimes others appear misguided,

She reminds us all what happens

To any house that is divided.

 

Warren has her plan for this

And her plan for that, which is fine.

Can she keep up the fight and maintain

The strength to toe the party line?

 

Harris displayed pluck and resolve.

When she speaks, she's on fire.

It's just curious as to why

Her polling numbers are not higher.

 

One surprise was Beto O'Rourke.

Beto fans have to rejoice:

This prospective candidate

Has all of a sudden found his voice.

 

Without a doubt, one of the best

Speakers standing there on the stage

Was our veteran Mayor Pete,

Extremely wise for someone his age.

 

Although Biden is high in the polling,

At times his answers seem disjointed.

I start with high expectations,

But end up feeling disappointed.

 

Castro went after Joe Biden.

But sadly Castro's condemnation

Appeared to come less from strength

And more out of desperation.

 

Yang has managed to keep afloat.

But what's this crazy idea he has

About wanting to buy your vote?

A little political razzmatazz?

 

Bernie, well…Bernie's Bernie.

But why does he have to be so gruff?

After his rants, one wants to say,

"Enough already, Bernie, enough!"

 

It's early still and hard to know

Who will advance and who will flop.

But I would vote for ANYONE

Over the current man at the top!
