Today’s Random Word is Nobody

When Nobody announced their candidacy for president, the nation laughed. Yet, as the campaign unfolded, humor turned into a bizarre reality.

Nobody will solve all your problems,” “Nobody truly cares” — resonated more than anyone expected.

Rallies for Nobody filled streets, chants were a mixture of irony and hope. Opponents were flustered by Nobody’s impeccable logic.

At Election day the impossible happened: Nobody won in a landslide. When it came time to take office, the truth hit — Nobody was there to swear in.

The country, left in a state of confused wonder, realized perhaps Nobody was the best candidate after all.
