Haiku Friday: Biden to the rescue! And everything else re politics
Now that the President kinda messed up the first debate, they are counting on Joe Biden to come to the rescue in the upcoming vice-presidential debate.
Everything is suddenly more interesting!
So, you can write about anything you want as long as it has to do with politics. You can even haiku about President Clinton!
Here is mine:
