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

Sara Kendrick Date: 11/4/2010 4:48:00 AM 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 Login to Reply

Audrey Haick Date: 11/3/2010 9:56:00 PM 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 Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/2/2010 9:20:00 PM house for a mouse. I think it is coming to that!! What a "wonderful" day with all the Republican wins. When they are in office, I WILL be seeing my house being for only a mouse. hahaha. LUv, Andrea Login to Reply

De R Date: 11/2/2010 7:24:00 AM Funny last line and this is so true. Politicians are just liars. Really good liars. Too bad for those who really believe in them. Emilia Login to Reply
