Sarah Palin, will she last?
or is she just a refreshment
that cheers up the drawn out fights
that had gone on for months between
an old uncle and a middle aged man?
will she just be a flash in the pan?

no if she does not pile on her knowledge
of foreign policies, defence and the
all important question of how to rebuild america?

can she do it in the next few weeks?
does she know enough of the change that is
needed for America before she even
goes around town shouting about it?
the interviews she had had pointed to 'no no'

she thinks Democratic presidential nominee
Barack Obama regrets not making Hillary
Clinton his running mate. 'I think he's regretting
not picking her now, ' she said. Empty talk -
gossiper? bored housewife for VP?
does it even concern her? isnt she
counting her chickens before they are even hatched?

where is the substance that should go
with the looks and charms? the subtlety
the sophistication required of a VP?
McCain thinks America is one big Wasilla?
she had better start piling on all the knowledge
in order to get on with the election
oh oh before that, does she even know
what a VP is supposed to do?
Good Luck America!
