A Box Score on Biden
I don't know how one scores
political accomplishments
ala baseball and its stats,
but in a crucial situations
I want Biden up at bat.
What a captain of the Nation,
a leader of the world!
Let me suggest...
Biden's first term presidential success
is akin to a Willie Mays
over the shoulder catch
and Ted Williams lifetime average
of batting at point three four four
and Hank Aaron's home run reach
of seven hundred fifty-five
and the World Series perfect game
with Yankees's Larson on the mound.
A second term will bring us more
– to mix a metaphor,
think Peyton Manning's Broncos winning team
24 to 10 Super Bowl score.
What a captain of the Nation,
what a leader of the world!
He's my guy today,
he's got my vote
come November '24,
let me repeat,
as I've said before –
'cause it makes my smile widen
"I'm sidin' with Biden,
"Go, Joe, Go!"
