How to Stop Dangerous Questions

In the realm of politics, a new tale unfolds,
About Ron DeSantis, a candidate so bold;
For it seems that he trembled, or so we are told,
At questions he got from a 15-year-old.

Young Quinn Mitchell, with eyes very keen,
Stepped up to ask with his face quite serene;
But DeSantis had quivered as his face turned green,
It looked like the man had just ruptured his spleen!

“Mr. DeSantis, please do tell us true,
What is your actual personal view,
For our nation’s future, please don’t misconstrue,
We want words that aren’t just political poo.”

He’s seen many candidates for one of his years,
His question was brewing, but he had no fears;
More politically savvy than most of his peers,
But Ron looked like he was about to shed tears.
