Abolish the Electoral College?
Are you crazy?
If we did that
Everybody’s vote would count!
Silly me for suggesting it....

Electoral College is proof
Many have grown long in the tooth.
Some votes do not count.
Hurt feelings soon mount.
Democracy is our big spoof....

Humpty Trumpty sat in the White House,
Humpty Trumpty had a great electoral loss;
All his lawyers and crooked friends, 
Couldn't make Humpty Trumpty president again....

The Electoral College is fraud.
At it's best they take us hostage
Then pay our ransom in jest
This two-party-system
Disingenuous
Slithery snakes
Investing
In fear
Stock....

With a veiled threat
Donald Trump now challenges the electorate

   A t-shirt with his smiling face reads, 'Miss Me Yet?'
   Mr. Trump, you're a big risk-taker ~ 'Wanna bet?!'...

Do Away With Electoral College

With others for office should fairly contend;
Remove electoral college and rules amend;
Take a gander,
At gerrymander;
We must only use popular vote in the end.

Electoral vision
New nation every 3-6 years.

Short term vision
30% action, 70% corruption. 

Long term vision
From reach to reef. 

Political will
From trash to cash.

Leaders should be exemplars
Not exempted....

The electoral college for President I say
Forget the humans
The electoral college is the real hero
Always making sure that many of our votes never count
What a treasure
A national phenomenon
That has ruined most of our lives
One non-vote at a time...

How fickle the electoral wind!
only yesterday a sure winner
but now a picture of despair.

Experience means nothing,
rhetorical prowess is best,
more like elocution contest.

Lack of substance is alright,
just talk and you are made
or end up politically dead....

Memorial for Electoral College

An adjective to describe college was electoral;
Did decide to kill it and then create memorial;
Finally at last,
By has passed,
And end result of this proved to be historical.

Electoral college has definitely been in favor
of a Republican President.

Let’s qualify voters.
What do you mean?
Since the Electoral College is here to stay
A system put into place by slave owners,
And no one tore it down with the statues,
Let’s make up our own rules.
Like what?
Let’s make voters take I.Q. Tests.
If they get below sixty-five percent, they cannot vote.
Can we still vote for the Electoral College?
Sure.
Okay....

How did I land in Kansas?
Who plunked me here?
Smack in the middle of the USA?

A state where my vote will never count.
Thanks to the Electoral College

What was I thinking when I arrived?
Now I remember. I was thinking of my grandchildren.
Wanting to be closer.

The land of Dorothy, Toto, the Tinman and tornadoes
Wizard of Sunflowers and I am in an earth-sheltered house.
Voting is not everything....

The Fed's interest increase today
Could change the election in play
Their latest rate rise
Is meddling in disguise
And Republicans say hooray!


Author's note: Do we believe the Fed didn't realize inflation was a problem until recently? They didn't raise rates during the previous administration--OMG that would have made the T-rumpasaurus look bad. They could have held off this month, but this way they can bias the electoral process....

When the monopoly game rings out
Who stands stubborn pushing their clout?
Where does reality bounce?
On the chessboard of hope and change
Taxes rearranged, fiat shuffling

Help the sick and needy
The court jester needs buffering
I'm calling the foolhardy bluff
That redistricts citizen electioneering
The jibe is up
Career politicians dancing with time
While TV auctions stamp the mind
We must participate
In the creation of our own lives
Hatchet the grid that chants otherwise...

 F ew points League of Women voters host
 O wn contemplations, where in rhythms nations
 R ights thinking, clouded minds eyes blinking

 Muffled yells patriots say you know GO TO ???
 Empirical results as both sides fuss and cuss
