I Already Voted, Now Leave Me Alone

I already voted
now leave me alone
Stop with the messages
To my telephone
Gather your signs
stabbed in every one’s yard
Give me a break
it can not be that hard
I’m fully aware
of all of your views
I see them each day
when reading the news
Quit all the polling
who cares who I’m for
I know he hates her
but she hates him more
So end these commercials
disrupting my show
I made up my mind
such a long time ago 
All of this banter
I can not condone
I already voted
now leave me alone

I am so so so glad I don't have to vote those calls must be infuriating - thankfully this type of campaigning doesn't take place on our little Island - we only had our election about 6 weeks ago:-) hugs jan xx

Oh my word Chris! I can identify with this and the calls to my phone have been driving me crazy as well. But, I identify with the entire poem. Great one!

Thanks Heidi, my phone dinged a while ago this afternoon and when I looked it was another message from a candidate and no fooling, I stared at my phone and said, "I already voted, now leave me alone" And then something in my head went ding and I wrote this. I appreciate you my sweet friend.
