Presidential Campaign Spoof

On the campaign trail, all presidential hopefuls
Will raise and spend a ton of money
Many will enter, and one by one will fall
Advertising,debates,and speeches drip with honey
Promises galore, that is no bull
With serious issues we face, not funny
Talks of war and creating change, nothing dull

With smiles and Kodak moments it's always sunny
With our candidates we never know what they'll pull
For their next trick, they may dress as the Easter bunny
Agendas in their baskets and an appearance at the mall
Will be all it will take some, my thoughts for a penny?
Let us pray that the right one will win after all
And our America will reign, land of plenty
So go out come November, and cast your vote y'all!
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
