Joyce Johnson Poet Couplet

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
