Primary Vote
I went today to vote
In New York’s Primary election,
Where one will be the winner
And the other face rejection.
My husband voted early
And I know which way he went
So the scanning of my ballot
Made the truth quite evident:
We had nullified each other.
Thus, the outcome is the same
As if neither of us voted;
But just one of us can claim
That we opted for the winner.
Though our choices we’d defend,
He or she who picked the loser
Likely will not hear the end!
