Idiocy
There's a new law being passed in our state
Which our politicians think is just great.
It has to do with the process of election
To me, it is a process for ejection.
The law will be that in each election we've got
All offices on ballots must be voted, whether you like it or not.
The election judge must stop each one
To advise them they must vote for someone.
As a judge of election I can see
Nothing but problems with this idiocy.
For if a voter doesn't like any candidate
He can't just leave a blank mark on his slate.
It's a silly law that they have made
So more of their lazy butts can make the grade.
For some will be elected because there must be a vote
And we judges must make sure the voter puts in a tote.
It will cause more confusion and questions on voting day
The voters will have a few choice words to say.
I don't know what was going through their heads
Except that this law will provide them with their daily bread.
Because some will be elected...worthy or not
Just because there has to be a mark on the ballot.
Poor political egos being bruised by voter indifference
Too bad they can't remember Payne's words..."Common Sense".
