I am composing this poem on Sunday November first to be precise
As I look out my window, the weather isn’t at all nice
I thought I would take advantage of that extra hour that we gained overnight
Use this extra time to sit down and write
Last night was Halloween and we put some treats out
Due to the virus there were not that many children about
After much debating we cancelled it all before it could start
But it turned out yesterday at noon we both had a change of heart
So my wife and I proceeded to decorate for this event
When we looked at the results it was time that was well spent
I really can’t take any credit because it was all her call
By the end of the evening we only had about ten kids in all
Once the last child left, she took everything in
Then we stowed them in the basement in their special bin
So now I’ve had some cereal and am sipping on my cup of tea
There’s nothing on television right now that I wish to see
Not so much on this morning but in the afternoon I certainly will
I have an appointment at one pm to watch my Buffalo Bills
Football is the only sport we can watch it would appear
Baseball is over and the NHL doesn’t start until next year
The NFL has had their share of problems but so far so good
They have a long ways to go, so they are not out of the woods
The Superbowl is now so far away
Will they crown a champion? It’s hard to say
So last evening was supposed to be our night of fright
We all know that this will be happening on Tuesday night
That’s when the American’s election will be on full display
Who’s going to win it all? It’s hard to say
Biden has the edge if you are to believe in the polls
Trump is not buying into it and thinks they’re on a roll
Remember the last one when Hillary was supposed to have ascended
You shouldn’t need to be reminded how it finally ended
I’m just hoping that Biden will be declared a winner before I head to bed
But I will probably be too excited to sleep knowing that Trump’s reign is dead
It would be so nice to live without Donald around
Regaining the feeling of being safe and sound
Knowing that Biden will tackle the virus just like we heard him say
Let the experts tackle this pandemic and not get in the way
The only reason this can come about
If the Americans are smart enough to boot Donald out
I’ve put my clock back one hour now that my poem is done
As I look at the time, I finished this entry before it begun
