A peacefulness has settled in. He’s been gone but a day.

So Bernie’s free to pad his lead, contenders on their trails.

It seems it’s what the nation needs, a break from their travails.

He’s on the other side of earth; he can’t cause too much trouble.

Relax, be calm, use time as balm. He’ll return, burst this bubble.

His stay in India is short. He’s there to sell them arms.

A giant crowd cheers long and loud, a tribute to his charms.

He mentions his friend Pakistan, a local source of tension.

He mixes good things up with bad, as if it’s his invention.

Perhaps he’ll fall in love with India, extend his stay.

More likely he’ll miss KFC and fly back home next day.

In any rate, the day looks great. The sun seems twice as bright.

He’s notably a better leader when he’s out of sight.
