The first one was a debacle
The second was a debate,
I’m not talking about Barbados
I mean the United States.
Trump was all over the place
Biden was in a bind,
And I got the stark impression
Of the blind leading the blind.
The issues were not ventilated,
They were not even aired
And the moderator in my opinion
Wished he could disappear.
He had little control
But then again, how could he?
Remember Trump is the President
And that we all must see.
Trump is an alien to rules
Unless they are his own,
Such that any debate that he is in
Will be as though he is alone.
The moderator is ignored
Time allotments too,
Trump will always ensure
That he gets more than his due.
His scowl was intimidating
Biden was no match,
Any opposition in a Trump debate
Definitely ends up scratched.
Trump and Biden staged a debacle,
Pence and Harris was a debate,
But even here, I must confess,
Neither of the two was great.
Some questions were ignored
Especially by Pence
And Harris eventually followed suit
And also committed this offense.
They acknowledged one another
When it suited them
But each blamed the other
For the country’s problems.
Pence, more often than Harris,
Ignore the moderator
Whose repeated calls of time
Became a constant bother.
However, this second debate
Far outshone the first,
Someone must tell Trump and Biden
Maybe they should rehearse.
One a debacle the other a debate
But neither one was great,
I eagerly await the next match-up;
I intend to make it a date.
Trump and Biden: nothing doing,
Pence and Harris was better,
Trump and Biden must up their game
And be the real trend-setters.
