GOP Debate #2--Response in Limericks
While debaters attempted to woo
The viewers to their points of view,
They regurgitated
What had been stated.
Did we learn anything new?
Fiorina joined the debate
And showed that she had the trait
Of being a swift talker,
Which isn't a shocker.
Her swipe at Trump was first rate.
Trump behaved fairly well
And bragged about the groundswell
Of public support.
Still he falls short
Of substance and is a hard sell.
It seemed that the mood in the room
Was all about doom and gloom.
Nothing is right;
So they must fight
To make America bloom!
Now, all joking aside,
Ben Carson managed to hide
His wild and crazy views
That we've seen in the news.
For president he's unqualified.
Huckabee, Cruz, Rand Paul,
Walker, and Christie--yes, all--
Though try as they may,
They have LITTLE to say.
It appears that they've all hit the wall.
John Kasich makes more sense than some;
And Rubio is basically "ho hum."
To avoid banality
He needs personality,
As does Bush--his Florida chum.
We hate to burst their bubble,
But they must shape up on the double.
If what they are showing
Is the best they've got going,
The GOP's in big trouble!
