Ah, the State fair
It is one of those oddities.
That the biggest thing
Of summer is the state fair
Everyone comes
To see the exhibits
That the clubs
Have worked on all year
From sewing to woodworking
And then there is the ice cream
And lemonade
Those scary rides
The public information
With wat is poison ivy
To how not to be skimmed
Then there is all those
Food trucks
With wonders from around
The world
Such as Iced Tea
And Hamburgers
Created just for the State fair.
Brand new items
Along with the science
And technologies tent
It is the meeting place
Of the public
And the private sector
Along with politicians
It is often the starting
Point of an election
In fact elections
Can be won or lost
Whether or not one
Goes to the State fair
And today is no different
Several of the GOP's
Are there walking
Through the crowds
Just after two others
Have been shot down
Ecuador and Japan
Have both lost candidates
For public office
And yet this day
Is so important
To be on hand.
Where does the country
Stand with what has occurred
In the last twenty years?
If 2008 had gone smoothly
Instead of Donald being
Indicted over and over again
We would be faced instead
With Palin in hand cuffs
The first lady of the Oval office
Would have been Sarah Palin
The former sportscaster
From Alaska turned governor
Who was the running mate
Of John Mccain
The former prisoner of war
Of Viet Nam war
Never forgotten by the press
For his heroics
Nor was he going to be given
A perfect honeymoon.
He would have been 72
On inauguration day
The oldest president
With what Ronald Reagan
Faced once he began to have
Signs of Alzheimer's
And now Biden with
His arthritis catching up with him
Is it jsut stumbling because
He is older than most
And should be sitting down
Not walking and standing?
Or has his mind actually gone?
Those are the questions
Everyone is facing
And what of the other guy?
Mccain had suffered in his days
At the Hanoi Hilton
What would he have done?
As it is he only lasted a short time
If he had won the battle
With his running mate
The world would have woken
Up at the end of August 2014
With a new face as the world leader
Sarah the first female
Lady of the Oval Office
Would the world have welcomed her?
After all her running mate was over
The retirement age limit
And not expected to survive
Now Trump is older than hell
And he has never chosen
A woman to replace him
In the White House
They are doing everything.
They can to prevent him
From returning despite
The fact some will say
He did the world a favor
In keeping Sarah from sitting down
Not Hillary but Sarah
What would have happened next?
No one likes Sarah now
And she has faded from
The news feeds
Meanwhile Hillary
Was under investigation.
At the time of her running
By the FBI
Her indictments would have
Been almost sure if she had
Gone forth and been inaugurated
Despite everything America
Likes honest politicians.
And not those who benefit financially.
Is the world ready?
For its next death?
If Biden should fall
Or fail to wake up
Then it will be
Kamala who will become
The First Lady of the Oval Office
Are we all ready?
Everyone says it is okay
For her heels to show up
But are they really ready
And willing to show her
The same authority
As a man in office?
Will she be able to handle
The constant pressure
Without breaking composure
And is it going to be a shue in
Instead of a hard-fought victory
Who will decide the face of
America for the rest of this century?
