Ephemeral Wave – 14th November 2022
Twas Midterm Election Time,
For the Stars and Stripes Tribe.
Spending many a dime,
Rhetoric they imbibed.
Elephant Tribe trumpeting The Red Wave,
Donkey Tribe timidly trying to look brave.
Elephant Tribe promoting crazy candidates,
Donkey Tribe fearing approval rates.
However, twas not to be,
Voters stunned each side.
Slender house majority,
Slimming elephantine pride.
Why this result?
Donkey Tribe’s policies were asinine,
Elephant Tribe’s ideals were sublime,
Yet voters gave Biden more time.
Pundits proved poor political analysts,
Cone Man cone-sidered.
‘“The Red Wave” existed in their imagination,
And was ephemeral outside their tribe ...'
