By: Cedric McClester To realize her life’s ambition She needed some competition Before she was hoping and wishing By default she’d inherit the position Now her back is against the wall But she’ll find a way to overcome all Before the primaries fall She’ll be the one standing tall Now this is not to suggest Of her opponent I think any less To do so would be to digress Cos I like him I have to confess But I’m trying to be pragmatic Without sounding too emphatic See I’m not trying to cause any static But to select anyone else would be irratic Now I’ve looked at the other side And if the laws of logic are applied There’s a reason they’ll all be denied They’re not on the voters side They’re in bed with the lobbyists Who’ve shown them the most largesse So If by now you haven’t guessed At best they’re owned by special interests I do feel once the dust finally settles And the voters have tested her metal Her opponents will have back-pedaled And she’ll find her way home like Gretel She’s destined to make history Though she already has if you’re asking me It’s just something that’s meant to be And she’s qualified ultimately Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2015.

BEFORE THE PRIMARIES FALL
