I recently met a girl
from North Dakota,
friendly and chatty,
a Democrat voter.
I said, “How are you?”
the usual expression
which I believe is
a rhetorical question.
The expected reply
is normally “I'm fine”
though there is scope
for someone to whine.
As soon as I spoke
I should have guessed
that at this moment
she's utterly depressed.
She told me she was
down in the dumps;
her fellow Americans
had elected a chump.
I urged her to look
on the bright side.
“I am too despondent.
It's hopeless”, she cried.
“We'll have four years
of unending torment”,
she deeply lamented;
I knew what she meant.

A good angle on the American election, which I think says a lot!
