The Debate
John Karry spoke
So well,
That George had
Silver tear
In his eyes.
It was hard
To make a come back.
John''s speech was about,
Education and the safety of the world.
George''s speech was
He wanted to go back to war.
John''s speech was a page long.
George barly had none.
George lost
John won
Hurry!
John number one.
