A.H. Scott: The Bridesmaid Question

.

 

 

Maybe it’s the question spoken in hushed tones. Or, just the obvious one which has some wondering out loud.

 

 

Why isn’t Mike Pence good enough to be the President of the United States of America?

 

 

Mike Pence can save America and put this country out of its’ misery right now, if he steps up to marry himself to a certain amendment and not a snotty brat with a constant pout.

 

 

 

After all, he’s a conservative’s conservative. Upright, uptight and potently pious is he. So, the question of him being the bridesmaid to a bride ever so shameless is an obvious one to take a peek under the tarnished, silken slip of this administration at hand.

 

 

An Evangelical base is more aligned with the life traveled by Mr. Pence. But, then again, it seems he is not the beloved one to stand in first place at the electoral altar.

 

 

Never the bride, but always the bridesmaid is Mike Pence.

 

 

Second-hand Mike!

Second-hand Mike!

 

 

Exactly what is it about you that people really don’t like?

Second-hand Mike is sanctimonious beyond anyone else on par

Yet, the one they love more is the boorish reality television star

Second-hand Mike wonders with stoic stare over why isn’t he worthy enough?

Amendment 25 is chiseled there in concrete

But, nobody’s calling in that bluff

Jobs may come

And, positions may transform

But, a certain bridesmaid sheds a tear when knowing that brass pinnacle is so near

Seems no matter how sincere you apply your gaze

Or, how earnest to the ideology you praise

Second banana is your finality of place

Choirboy or fornicator is the choice on the evangelical’s silver plate

Which will they cling to when the sins hit the fan?

The good boy who abides by all the perceived rules

Or, the problem child who kicks the golden can?

The answer is clear and Second-hand Mike weeps on his Missus’ shoulder

One spouse limit is his, as the bride’s been in triple-wedded bliss

At the head of the aisle one hand brushing another is a pliable second-hand job

Oh, Mother – clutch your pearls, if that be true

Let them pearls of fallacy scatter

When you couldn’t have that proclaimed Christian fortitude of humanity to say Black Lives Matter

Lacking a pair of spheres and absent a clue

You will never be the cream on top, because being the bride is just not you

Mike Pence is a bridesmaid, through and through
