BACKYARD POLITICS
by Bill Kochman
06-01-2016
Running for a public office,
Seems to be the latest sport,
Candidates attack each other,
They fire off a mean retort.
Forget about the big issues,
Which make our lives so hard,
Let's sling mud at one another,
Like kids do in their backyard.
It really is so disgraceful,
Grown men behaving like jerks,
With so many pressing problems,
Their sad behavior really irks.

A poem inspired by the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign . . . how unpresidential!
