I do not like these candidates, Sam I am,
I do not like these candidates, Sam I am.
They are loud, gray, old and insulting, so
I do not like these candidates, Sam I am.
For President, will you run?
Why, I might as well,
Sam I am.
It can’t be any harder
Than eating Green Eggs and Ham.
Well, have you been living here for 14 years?
I have been living here for 14 years,
I am 42 and I am in tears.
I have been born in the USA,
I haven’t left for over a day.
Would you join the elephaants?
Or would you join the Democraats?
I will not join the Elephaants,
I will not join the Demoraats.
I know, I know, I should join a party,
I will register now and not be tardy.
I guess I will choose the Party of Green,
As we all know that I will never be seen.
Will you gather enough support?
Will your expectations come up short?
In the Caucus I will be discussed,
Gathering support is solely a must.
I May appear to be ordinary,
But that will help me win the Primary.
Sanders and Clinton for the Demorcaats,
There are more candidates for the elephaants.
With Rubio, Kasich, Cruz and Trump,
One of each will get over the hump.
Would you? Could you? Win the race?
Win it! Win it! Receive first place!!
I would not, could not win the race,
As I still need to choose a running mate.
I will then show my great intentions,
While I reside in the national Convention.
This is possible if the primary is won,
Then I can start to have a lot of fun.
I will debate and take the stage,
I am over 35, the appropriate age.
I have my ideas and policy,
Let us not forget, philosophy.
You may win it, you may see.
Just do not yell, when you are on TV.
I will win it, you may see,
I will not yell when on TV.
Trump and Clinton have it all wrong,
They put each down and it takes too long.
The ads are negative and they are mean,
I hope I have a shot to keep it clean.
I should win the race by being mature,
And not insulting the others, oh I am sure.
Voting is soon, voting is soon,
The three debates are over,
Are you singing a tune?
Why, it is not the second Tuesday of November!
It is only the middle of October.
Even if I win by a mile,
I will not be president for quite a while.
While I wish I was president in the month of February,
I will be inaugurated the following January.
People choose one president and one vice,
Let us hope, they choose one that is nice.
Wait, the election is soon, it is too late too run.
I am sad now, no more fun.
Don´t worry, there will be another race,
When four years pass, I will be your running mate.
This thought was fun, Sam I am,
This thought was Fun
But now I have to vote,
I would not could not in a boat.
I do not like these candidates Sam I am,
I do not like these candidates Sam I am.
