Election 2016

He has no laser vision, and he lacks the gift of flight. He has no rocket car to drive; his clothes aren’t even tight. He's a stranger to Metropolis and Gotham’s out of reach So he spends a lot of time just South of Erie’s beach. He fell from space and landed hard, in Cleveland, USA. It’s not somewhere he’d choose to be, if he could have his way. He thinks Ohio's pretty drab, and something’s gotta change perhaps he’ll run for president; come now…it’s not THAT strange. He can start in NYC, a sleepy little town… to test the slogan that he’ll use: America, Get Down. He’ll fix his tie, and light a smoke; he'll practice his quack-fu. The platform that he's running on is always-tell-it-true. Trump vs. Clinton’s getting old, those two both really suck. So next year when you’re at the polls, vote: Howard the Duck! 05/27/15 Entry for Comic Book Characters Hosted by: Shadow Hamilton *edited 9/16 to reflect the appropriate Republican (debatable...but whatever) candidate.

Thanks Jan, I wouldn't consider this my best work, but given the theme it seemed like an appropriate time to be kind of goofy. =p

You know, for a long time I followed politics. I think it was bad for my blood pressure. I don't like any of them anymore, so I think I'm just going to start writing myself in every election...haha.
