Well, hello out there, everyone.
John Kerry is my name.
I wanna be your president
Bushwhackin' is my game.
The Democrats think I'm the one
To knock him off his perch
And there's no truth that children think
That I resemble Lurch!

I won three purple hearts, a silver star,
A bronze one, too.
I outshone Audie Murphy -
Did things Rambo cannot do!
I'm listed in the Guiness Book of Records..
Special mention
For being wounded most times with no
Medical attention.

Hello, my fellow voters. It's your buddy
John F Kerry!
Does my career in congress make me
Glow with pride? Not very...
But now that I'm a candidate I'll give up
All those tricks
And show you there is nothing in
This great land I can't fix.

I'll stop those tax breaks for the rich,
Fix our economy,
Make everyone pay their fair share
(Except for John and me).
I'll bring our boys home from Iraq
In no time - I ain't dumb.
Look how quick I brought my own self
Back from Viet Nam!!!!

Hey, undecided voters, it's your new friend
John F. Kerry!
I may not know a lot of things
But I know how to marry!
Threw my medals away in protest--
Should have seen me sling 'em!
Oops! I forgot that those weren't mine..
Seems I forgot to bring 'em.

Arafat endorses me. Hamas says I'm their man.
Castro says that I'm the one. So does the Taliban.
Every terror group is for me - so is good old France.
If all these folks believe in me
Why not give me a chance?

Hey, all you little voters! Come on now
Get off your ass.
Forget my votes for raising taxes
On the middle class.
Don't let your apathy dissolve
In non-commital yawns.
With so much crap around these days
You really NEED two Johns!!

Michael, this is a wonderful, quirky piece. Your humour shines through even when I don't understand your politics.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

(giggles in delight) I didn't know that John Kerry could rap! LOL! Maybe he actually didn't rap before he decided to rap! (giggles) I pass on your opinion, though you know I relish diversity in thse forums and your political expression is much enjoyed and admirable, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Balladeer, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Michael,

There’s a Gold Star with peanut clusters
waiting for you at the PX.

My mind is made up as well, and as you know, the other way.

May we remain friends, with or without.

Fantastic!  If I ever run for President, I want you in my corner, sir.

Consequently, I hope you don't mind if I show this to everybody that I know.

Wonderful...with all the promises he made, if he could keep half of them his name should be changed to Mr. Wizard...wonder how many Democrats voted for him wishing that they had a better choice...I voted for President Bush wishing I had a better choice...James

I loved your rhyme, but I sure do wish that
there had been two other choices....
