Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Wail to the Chief!

Male or female, it matters not
If running to be President.
Cry - it's bye bye to the top spot.
Remember Muskie's sob torrent?
And once elected should there be
Tears seen from the President's eyes,
Each and every enemy
Would take advantage - no surprise.
So the President takes some pills
To keep the tear glands liquid free
So there will be no tearful spills
Setting the stage for World War III

Leaders' tears publically shed
Means a muddy mess for the led.
