The Election of 2016

by Jon Taylor / February 28th, 2016

Where it appears
the citizens of the world’s
exceptional and indispensable democracy
will be allowed to choose between

The candidate who will
“Make America white again!”
and the candidate who will
“Make the world safe for Wall Street!”

And it appears
their decision will be honored
depending of course
on how the electoral college votes

And how if necessary
the supreme court rules
and how as always the insiders
program the tabulating software.
