The Kamala effect

I’m feeling a feeling unusual;
It isn’t my usual mope.
It’s a curious, happy-type feeling;
The feeling I’m feeling is hope!

It’s because of events quite momentous.
It’s about whom we may now elect.
There’s a shift in our sense of the future.
It must be the Kamala Effect.

At the moment Joe passed the baton,
She was ready to enter the race.
In fact, she seems more than just ready.
She’s setting a vigorous pace.

She seems filled with energy contagious,
Prompting thousands of new volunteers.
The money floods in in the millions.
Her crowds are erupting in cheers.

Can it be that she’ll be the difference?
Can she o’ercome the lead of the Don?
Will this country remain a Republic?
On Harris a lot’s riding on.

So far we’re a party united.
Our differences quenched for a time.
Let’s just get out the vote, make some his’try.
Help Harris to victory climb!
