OK, in an effort to make peace among us. I was listening to my country station...love me

some country music. It speaks to life honestly.

Don't know it could be done or even if the musicians would let it be done but this struct me as a song to bring Sanders and Clinton folks together. I made up some words to fit the music. The first verse of my words is posted. i will post the second verse only if requested to do so.

It was seven hundred
fence posts
from your place and ours
None of us
was bold enough
to extend a hand

Sometimes it was raining
Sometimes it would shine

We wore out that competitive road
Between your place and mine

I’d start walking your way
You’d start walking mine

We’d meet in the middle
‘Neath that old Donkey sign

We’d gain a lot of ground
Cause we’d both give a little.
And there ain’t no road too long
When we meet in the middle.
