Election rules are quite patrimonial
And often seem just ceremonial
This year
It is clear
The campaign season is too testudinal

We realize The Donald is crude and all
But his problems are just attitudinal
Hillary acts so corruptly
He should catch her abruptly
But he’s closing at a pace that’s testudinal
