The mud is flying high this year,
Mud-slinging at its' very best,
Each candidate trashing the other,
The sound bytes will attest!

Debates don't settle anything,
More words flying loose and fast,
Each one accusing the other,
Of "crimes" committed in the past!

Voters aren't sure what to think,
About this savage verbal brawl,
Perhaps, should put them in the ring,
Get this settled after all!

If mud-slinging were an Olympic event,
The voters would be the senders,
Pack Gore and Bush off to Aussie-land,
They would be the gold contenders!

Yes pack them of on a one-way flight
To good old Aussie-land,
Let the mud go back to dust
And then strike up the band!

Well said brother- I like who you wove both current themes together,  Love, David


WOW- another day of life-and here among friends!
Ain't God Grand!

Bro: Terrific the way you tell this all too sad commentary of politics. You're right up there with Mark Russel, in case you don't know of him, he's a really gifted political satyrist. Great job! Love, Sis

Very good, Dennis! It's a shame isn't it, the choices we are given?
