This is a timely exhoratation. Thank you, Carly, for issuing the challenge.

My poem for this occasion:

’T’was just a simple twist of irony

in this, our passing Presidents’ authority:

Our Veep whose ’16 election wielded gavel in the Senate

has now the Oval prize, as he did win it.

So now Ole Joe accepts the Vote of victory

as our 2020 he has won for all to see.

Yes, he who last time swung that Veepy gavel

will now to Oval Office travel

But now Ole Mike wields that Veepy gavel,

as our nation strives ‘tween Presidents to unravel.

When in the Senate, Electoral votes are counted,

Will his gavel seal decision honestly accounted?

Will Mike swing his gavel to do the right thing?

Or will he abet a Trumpist uprising?

As Mike replays Ole Joe’s last Vice Presidency,

’Tis just a simple twist of fate we see.
