Voting Day Is Near Acrostic

Voting time is upon us
One time when we can choose who should govern
The time that many wish they could have but it is forbidden
I will be there to cast my ballot; I will not neglect this privilege
Not let Nellie McClung and the 5 down; cannot let their victory be in vain
Go vote, go vote!
Do not shun a day many would die to have
All around the world death is the result of asking for the right to vote
Yes, go vote go vote!
If you do not, change might come for the worse or it won’t come at all
So go vote and insure change happens for the better
Never forget, ladies, we have only had this for not even 100 years
End the belief, oh people of youth, that the young don’t vote
Always remember voting day is a day many have longed for but have not had, and have died trying to get.
Remember to go vote and celebrate Canada by participating in its democracy!

Jack Ellison our humor poet tells me that it seems Justin will follow in his father's footsteps is what he is hoping...In the US for me don't know who Justin is or his father but certainly hope the election turns out in the best interest of all....best wishes, Judy
