Voter's Masquerade

Vote for us, we’ll give you a house 
And you are not allowed to grouse 
It is just a masquerade
Empty promises made 
Your house might turn out to be for a mouse










4th place
ELECTION HUMOR CONTEST

I love poetry with a social commentary ... and with this you are beginning to interest me as much as you impress me.

Great political write.. In our state we did a fruitbasket turnover..Changed back to Republican..Most hope there will be change but there seems to be no hope..Our hope is in earthly things and people and not where it should be..I am glad that you chose to write on this topic...Good one for me to read this A.M..I was delighted that you read my work "Had Times Been Different" and understood about a person being mentally ill..Sara

I had to giggle at reading this, Wilma..Let me just say, a politician is a politician, is a politician no matter where he resides..it's like they're a special breed. .."empty promises..." so true. Love, Audrey

Very clever,cynical, yet funny. Loved it and so atypical of politicians everywhere? ha! I don't think so. Love June(sylvia)
