OLD JOE <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

We are coming down to the wire,
\nIt is now just Joe Biden vs. Trump,
\nBut old Joe has one big problem,
\nThe man keeps falling on his rump.<\/p>\n

Yet Joe’s troubles do not end there,
\nHe gets a blank look on his face,
\nAnd then for a number of seconds,
\nOld Joe just stares off into space.<\/p>\n

There is the invisible handshake,
\nAs poor Joe gets rather confused,
\nIt is indeed a very sad situation,
\nNo one should really be amused.<\/p>\n

We all recognize the symptoms,
\nOld age has clearly taken its toll,
\nBoth the mind and body fall apart,
\nAnd we cease to be totally whole.<\/p>\n

Now old Joe shouldn’t be blamed,
\nWhat befell him can befall us all,
\nYet there is a country to be run,
\nSomeone needs to make the call.<\/p>\n

Remove the poor man from office,
\nWhy do they even still let him run?
\nJoe is embarrassing our country,
\nHis time in politics should be done.<\/p>\n

Let him now retire with his dignity,
\nNo more making himself the fool,
\nThose Dems should be ashamed,
\nFor using old Joe as just their tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
