By: Cedric McClester They hope against hope For survival But what are they? Dead on arrival Historic footnotes Perhaps archival No longer contenders Or arch rivals Former debaters At the kids table Who wanted a chance To prove themselves able To break out and join The rest of the stable All they needed Was a booster cable But as another one Bit the dust Going down In total disgust The frontrunners Remained nonplussed While observing All that’s left is just us See their base Was so hell bent On making sure That the message sent Was conservative to the core As far as that went And they we’re determined Not to relent Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2015.
