Shooting Star
Last week I saw a shooting star,
A rare and wondrous sight.
Inside our car, my spouse and I
Reacted with delight.
I made a wish, remembering
Instructions I'd once heard.
My husband missed his chance,
Believing such a thing absurd.
My wish was for a future time
But since Election Day,
I wonder if I could have helped
Turn things a different way.
Perhaps if I had wished for help
Electing You-Know-Who,
The outcome of the race just might
Have switched from red to blue.
