Gilligan* for President! Aug. 19, 2024

politics should be no-holds-barred

bare feet and knuckles fight

hidden shanks and blades OK

no mercy  dirty fighting

only one party left standing

                   or

we can pass out life jackets

abandon this sinking ship

find the way to a new shore

 

then determine who plays the Howells

the Professor  the Skipper and

all those Mary Anns and Gingers

 

we’ll build a new village and oh

I almost forgot  we’ll need a Gilligan

to soften the inevitable disagreements

 

how else would we survive each other

without him doing something stupid

like trying to swim for help

 

and bringing back a raft of coconuts

with a monkey and him saying

 

I found bowling balls and this little fella

who says he’ll set the pins every Saturday night if

Mary Ann will make him one of her banana cream pies

 

 

*if you’re not familiar with it, Gilligan was the goofball on an American comedy show – Gilligan’s Island - from the 60’s with a group of diverse characters stranded on an island together
