You Could Pick A Reprobate

If you don't know the candidate
you could pick a reprobate
and become a welfare state

If you don't know the ambition
you could pick a magician
and become a poor mission

If you don't know the precedent
you could pick a malcontent
and become a miffed lament

If you don't know the rationale
you could pick a bacchanal
and become a league-cartel

If you don't know the endeavor
you could pick a whatever
and become a switch lever

If you don't know the strategy
you could pick a debauchee
and become a corrupt spree

If you don't know the scalawag
you could pick a foreign flag
and become a punching bag
