vote early and often

It is said that our ballots are secret
And that is the way we should keep it
A trip to the polls
No chads, marks, or folds
Just some deft sleight of hand to delete it

They vote early and often
Some vote from the coffin
A nod and a wink
Was it blue or soft pink
There’s a bucket right here to put that in

Ah, as a native Chicagoan, I grew up with the old 'sleight of hand.' Voted early and late. ~ Auf N. Tu
