Jeb!

New Hampshire primary day is here, and the media are saying that Jeb Bush has upped his game.  Decide for yourself.

There was silence, dead air, a long gap

The audience kept their hands in their lap

Jeb Bush went off script

He deftly ad libbed

And said to his listeners “Please clap”.

He wasn’t blowharding, he was refined

He was polite, and a little resigned

But what he did there

No speechwriter would dare

He reimagined their treasured applause line.
