The V.P.

With V.P.'s picked, the candidates
Are on the campaign trail,
Each hoping that the other's choice
Will make some voters bail.

But really, no one cares that much
If running mates seem weak.
For most of them, the limelight
Isn't something that they seek.

Unless, of course, the President
Can't finish out the term.
The Second-in-Command may then
Make party members squirm.

We cast our votes for President
And hope we'll never see
The Number 2 man in the place
He wasn't meant to be.
