Notes About The Poem

Both political parties mentioned in this poem exist. They are used as satire in this poem . I do not endorse either.

Decision 2024

For whom shall I vote?
There are too many voices
saying come here, don't go there.
If I'm not cold I'm at least lukewarm
to political drones throwing stones;
the demented or the dictator? 

I might look elsewhere.

If I vote for the Prohibition Party 
will I have to give up my vices? 
Perhaps I'll just roll the dices~
if they land on thirteen or the old Jolly Roger,
maybe I'll become the three thousand and first 
member of the primed Pirate Party!

A funny but enjoyable poem. My hats off to you (but not in the ring).

A marvelous satire on today's state of the world. Sometimes all that is left for us to do is laugh.

Or throw up our hands a quit, which is not an option.
