Idiocy

There's a new law being passed in our state Which our politicians think is just great. It has to do with the process of election To me, it is a process for ejection. The law will be that in each election we've got All offices on ballots must be voted, whether you like it or not. The election judge must stop each one To advise them they must vote for someone. As a judge of election I can see Nothing but problems with this idiocy. For if a voter doesn't like any candidate He can't just leave a blank mark on his slate. It's a silly law that they have made So more of their lazy butts can make the grade. For some will be elected because there must be a vote And we judges must make sure the voter puts in a tote. It will cause more confusion and questions on voting day The voters will have a few choice words to say. I don't know what was going through their heads Except that this law will provide them with their daily bread. Because some will be elected...worthy or not Just because there has to be a mark on the ballot. Poor political egos being bruised by voter indifference Too bad they can't remember Payne's words..."Common Sense".
