Ballyhoo ... Candidate

Today's word is "ballyhoo" ... BAL-ee-hoo ... a clamorous and vigorous attempt to win customers or advance any cause; blatant advertising or publicity. clamor or outcry. (Dictionary.com)

Candidate
There is bluster all around,
No end of bloviating clowns,
They're on the street, they're on T.V.
Doing deeds just to be seen.

Elections now are getting close,
Many will shout and lie and boast,
This ballyhoo could make you mad,
It' enough to make you scream. Egad!
