As he follows in his daddy’s footsteps,
Sadly his daddy is dead.
Trice Stone is the runner-up for president,
Running up against Ralph Holmstead.
Everyone knows Ralph is a tough opponent,
Missing out on the fun of politics.
Trice tries to make a comeback,
As he tries to be better than his opponents.
So tell me, Mr. Stone,
“What would you do better for the company?”
He replied to those,
“I’ll try to conserve the best of the energy.”
So tell me, Mr. Holmstead,
“What would you do better for the company?”
He replied with confidence,
“I would freely conserve the overproduction of gasoline.”
Every day and nightfall,
Trice would pray that he’ll beat Ralph.
The votes were counted before they call,
Hopefully, God answered his prayers enough.
Well, the counts were in,
Trice and Ralph were nervous.
As the announcement began,
They said, “The next Presidential candidate is…”
It was a total landslide,
But the next president will be announced.
Trice and Ralph’s nerves were put aside,
As the president of the company was Trice.
Congratulations to President Stone,
Trice jumped for joy.
His first presidential term has begun,
Trice said, “He loved everyone who voted for me.”
It was a bummer for Ralph as he lost,
As he will be next runner-up in two years.
Never will he lose to his enemy opponent,
He lost with dignity as pride, not self-righteous fears.
Don’t let him fool you though,
He was a tough one to go up against.
As President Stone loved being at home,
Until the two years will be Trice as president.
