the debate rules and restrictions

the debate is scheduled.
but with rules
and restrictions.
no asking about the border,
or ethnicity,
or previous unfulfilled
promises
like lowering crime
and taxes.
no laughing, no making
fun of,
no pointing fingers,
or saying anything that's
not nice and might hurt
the other person's feelings.
things like,
so you say
mister know it all,
or your mamma
in retaliation.
no going off on tangents to
talk about 
Venn diagrams or yellow
school buses,
or golf.
no chewing gum, or using
notes, or having a lifeline
nearby to call when you get
stuck on a question like
how did you
get your first job?
answers will be kept to ten
concise
words or less,
using the English language,
speaking
in the accent
you grew up with.
