Excellent

I'm offsite a lot this month, and I'm missing too much! (Putting books together...sigh...finally!) This is wonderful satire, but not at all surprising - I love your wit, and it's so evident in this sparkler. :))

Thanks, Dawn. I have just been hit and miss also. Have a couple of writing projects going on.

Same here - let me know what they are and when they're available! :))

Very clever. It made me smile. But I am baffled how candidates can deny statements they are on tape as saying. I'm going to be in S, Carolina on election night, Should be a gas.

Excellent poetry for this 5-7-5 contest, Alice. I cannot believe it is that time of year already. Yikes! This piece is very original and I liked these last words the best:

"trot out tricks and tweets"

LOL. Good job. And I wish you well in the competition, my friend. Bob

What a clever way to share your thoughts about the election! Your 5-7-5 also incorporates rhyme and alliteration in great measure. Your wordplay with "tweets" is choice. LOL for now, but good luck to us all in the next four years!! Best wishes in the contest with this very creative work- Joan

Super and all too true comments about the worst possible Presidential candidates in American history. The last line is a hoot with its reference to tweets. Great use of alliteration throughout.

Thanks, Shari. Glad you liked it. After all, it is one big joke, isn't it. A nightmare I can't wake up from.

Very clever. I'm sure the costume shops will sell out of Trump and Hillary outfits this year. It seems that it was only yesterday that Bill and Monica were all the rage.

Comment from Pantygynt

Excellent

This is a 5-7-5 plus and the the plus is the alliteration, different on each line. This is cleverly done and somewhere lurking in there I sense two politicicians struggling to escape the bonds of their own alliteration.
