Texas is likely to have several representatives in the 2016 presidential election. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is stumping and it’s been announced that former Texas Governor Rick Perry will announce… that was the inspiration for Typewriter Rodeo’s Sean Petrie this week.
PRESIDENTIAL HOPE
Oh there they stand
Those two Texas men
Cruz vs. Perry:
Which One will win?
In a Presidential fight
Only one can surpass!
(Or, maybe not,
If Perry does the math.)
There’s Governor Rick
Donning fake glasses
Taking economic credit
For the state’s oil and gasses
And there’s Senator Ted
Struttin’ round town
He can solve any problem —
“Shut that government down!”
When the debate dust settles
And they’re pummeled and pilloried
There’s just one thing left:
Can either beat Hillary?
