According to Joe
Joe Gedan



Candidates on a collision course

They overtook McCain, saying, "You're too old"
But he spun around and now he's back
Obama surged with "change," he extolled
Which knocked Hillary off the track
Hillary fought back by shedding a tear
Thompson fell short with only movie fans
Then Biden crashed with the end near
Romney? Who knows where he stands?

Huckabee surged with one great feat
Claiming Jesus in his passenger seat.
Edwards will not let you pass
Unless you'll help the middle class
It's a spectacle for all to see
The '08 primary demolition derby.

Daily headlines inspire the poet in Joe Gedan, a retired U.S. magistrate judge who lives in Honolulu. His observations on the news appear on Sundays and Fridays.
