Election Day

I'm waiting for election day When all the hoopla goes away, All the lies and all the drama. You're not fooling this old gramma. You are but puppets mouthing dirt, Spewing garbage, foe to hurt. I want to hear what you will do, Not old re-hash. Give me some new Info if you want my vote. More lies will to me denote The choice is an unholy sin For least revolting guy to win. won one of the no. 4 spots

Joyce I like the line, "Give me something New!" My rhyme to go with that would be, "A single moral precept to pursue!" Congrtatulations on your poem's honor. Agape, Moses

That's the choice we have, Joyce. We're left with selecting the "least revoltin" candidate in many cases. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn
