MARK TWAIN

 This is a short story about a pair of pathetic pals 

named Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. 

Huck wasn't worth a fuck 

and Sawyer had all the makings of a dirty lawyer, 

but it was a given among the citizenry 

that he lacked the wherewithal to pass the test. 

Like all worthless individuals looking for an easy out, 

they were natural politicians. 

There wasn't a position for which they wouldn't run 

and each on one occasion even won, 

but the results, sadly, didn't measure up to the rhetoric. 

Once again they are on the campaign trail 

and everyone agrees they are destined to fail. 

But that won't stop them. 

Though this story is ending, 

they are only beginning. 

It wouldn't surprise anyone 

if they donned their Halloween costumes 

in future elections 

and masqueraded along the hustings 

as Trump Republicans.
