Twas the time of the primaries..

[Guava Jelly]

'Twas the time of The Primaries, and all through Du

Not a thread was productive except maybe a few.



The mockings were sung and the tempers did flair,

And GD:p read like that freeper place over there;


The children were bitching, and screaming childish names,

As if the right wingers took a hold of their brains;


The mod's doing their duty, locking threads that were crap,

I joined the discussion and fell into the trap,


Then someone started a thread, it was something quite crappy,

By the responses it got, people weren't very happy,


Away with this thread, Mods please lock it now!

If the lock wasn't sudden, people would have a cow.


My candidate is better, this is true, I just know it.

If your candidate is chosen, they'll most definately blow it.


Then all of the sudden it all became clear.

That many were just taking out their frustrations here,


A guy at his console,a gal over there,

All arguing about nothing and getting nowhere.


From the threads I was reading,I felt kind of sick.

One person responded and was kind of a dick.


More rabid than wolves the posters became

They screamed , and shouted, and created names;


"Now, Hilbot! now, Obamaton! now, Hitlery and Hussein!

On, hillhounds! on Obamaniacs! on, other childish names !


Either over the top! or under the belt!

Everyone bruised from the blows that were dealt!


Negative thread only, would stay toward the top,

While positive threads, were always a flop.


And all over the forum the curses they flew,

No one was immune,even I caught a few.


And then all of the sudden a letter from skinner,

This shit better end when we have us a winner.


As I read that letter, posted by the Admin,

It occurred to me that we are still going to win.


So even though now, while we argue and fight,

And tear each other apart, emulating the right.


And divide into factions who swarm and attack,

And reply to every thread like the OP's on crack.


Our eyes should be focused on the battle ahead,

But it's easier to scream, until our faces turn red.


No matter what battles we each choose to fight,

We are closer to each other than we are to the right.


I wish both could win,but that isn't going to be,

Two amazing candidates who have made history,


I've written all I can, and destroyed a great rhyme,

But I have a few things to say before I run out of time.


It has been total hell! For this last seven plus years

Our government lying and feeding our fears


It will all be over soon,I know that I'm right.

We will kick McCain's ass come election night.

25. LOL...

I don't know how many times I have started to post something, then immediately pressed the back button! At this point, I am really just sitting back and waiting for one of the candidates to prevail. I was lucky this year; I was able to vote for a candidate whose views truly reflect most of my mine own... Kucinich! I guess that makes me a 4 percenter! :rofl:

Anywho, thanks for the reply!

And... :yourock: backatcha!
