DOWN IN THE BASEMENT
by Bill Kochman
08-16-2024
Down in the basement,
Just like old Uncle Joe,
People are wondering,
Why she doesn't show.
There are many issues,
Can we hear her take?
Or is she just so afraid,
She'll make a mistake?
Good at making salads,
Is not what we all need,
Use your teleprompter,
If you just have to read.
But please get out there,
Show you have got guts,
Forget all your excuses,
Yep, no ifs, ands or buts.
Now if you fail to do this,
You will sink your boat,
Folks losing confidence,
And there goes their vote.

This poem was inspired by a news article which caught my attention where Hillary Clinton accused special counsel John Durham of a "fake scandal", due to his allegation that during her 2016 presidential campaign, one of Clinton's campaign lawyers enlisted a tech executive to help mine internet data from locations including Trump Tower and the White House, with the purpose of establishing "an inference" and "narrative" tying then-candidate, Donald J. Trump, to Russia.
