Election Fever

Vote for me,
That's what I say.
I have all the answers,
My plan is the way
To solvency 
For the country.

No tax rises,
Get rid of sleaze,
Protect essential services.
I don't really want to be in power
But vote for me please.

You shouldn't grumble,
My views are right
Of course.
I'm really very humble,
I just want to serve.
Vote for me please.

Now about 
This election, they say
Every vote counts.
We'll vote of course,
Even though it amounts 
To nothing.

Legend has it that
King Arthur will fight 
Once more to restore
Our ancient (not human) rights.
In the face of modern political tyranny
That would work for me.

It is sad that this might be true but we have to vote. This freedom is ours even if the result is less than pleasing. Thanks for your comment.
