Cool

I am a boy
Watching the
Movie Harvey on
TV as Elwood P. Dowd
Advises being oh so pleasant
Rather than oh so clever thinking
Why not both too young to be
Aware a choice had to be
Made in life but knowing
Oh so pleasant would
Be the right choice.
Years later I saw
Obama rum for
President on
The oh so
Pleasant platform
A lesson missed in 2019
By most candidates
Who try to be oh
So clever when
Oh so really
Pleasant
Is the
Key.
If
I were
A candidate
Asked awkward
Questions I would
Reply when my
Opponent
Says issue I say
Gesundheit!
Calvin Coolidge
Campaigned and
Won by sitting on his
Front porch in a straw hat
Rocking sipping lemonade,
His slogan that summer
To perspiring reporters
Was to keep cool
With Cal.
Be cool
Say
Gesundheit.
