DESPERATE MEASURES<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

10-22-2020<\/p>\n

It was coming down to the wire,
\nTrump called Joe Biden a liar.
\nNot wanting to waste more time,
\nHe accused the Bidens of crime.<\/p>\n

Even cocaine was now in the mix,
\nCould this problem Joe even fix?
\nSon Hunter had deals in Ukraine,
\nBut pure ignorance Joe did feign.<\/p>\n

Both sides are now slinging mud,
\nWho will be first to draw blood?
\nYes, election time is now here,
\nWhen politicians grab your ear.<\/p>\n

They will say whatever it takes,
\nTo win this game of high stakes.
\nOnly one man will take the crown,
\nBut the other will be shot down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
