A Debate About A Debate
A Debate About The Debates
Thomas Friedman has an interesting idea
Something Biden will have to sell to the media
Trump will undoubtedly resist
But Biden should insist
It concerns the debates for the approaching election
He must steer the debate in the right direction
Because Trump will lie and go on the offense
If Biden’s not careful he’ll be playing defense
And, this could last all night long
So his debate team has to stand strong
Trump will lie, make things up, and cheat
Anything to win back his presidential seat
He’ll call Biden names
Play his usual games
His plan will be to attack, attack, attack
Because he is a lying, cheating, political hack
So, Sleepy Joe Biden, as Trump calls him
Must reveal Trump’s lies if he wants to win
He should insist on a Fact-Finding Team
To keep the debate clean
Report the facts, reveal the lies
To the viewers eyes
Immediately after the show
So the public will know
And, if the Trump team should resist
Which they will, cause they’ll be pissed
Refuse to debate, Biden’s ahead in the polls
Make the truth one of his campaign goals
The second condition that Biden should set
One that, for obvious reasons may be hard to get
Is income taxes, Trump needs to come clean
It’s information he should willingly glean
Biden has listed his income so the public sees
A million and a half, mostly from speaking fees
Now, it’s Trump’s turn to do what’s right
No better time to discuss taxes than debate night?
See if he’s as wealthy as he claims to be
Or if he’s going to take another knee
A refusal would definitely raise a concern
Or is Trump worried about what his taxes confirm?
“Refuse to debate,” Friedman suggested
The public deserves to know what’s requested
Set these two conditions and if Trump doesn’t approve
Cancel, and wait for him to make the next move
