A Post-Election Wish
On Wednesday, November 9th,
it’ll all be over but the shouting.
And we know the shouting - and maybe shooting -
will go on and on and on
for a very long, long time.
But...
On Wednesday, November 9th,
perhaps we’ll finally be able to start
to put this election behind us
and get on with our lives.
Now...
whether or not we can still go on
with our friendship, given that you and I
were on totally opposite sides in this
earth-shatteringly crazy debacle,
is another matter. And I don’t know
if we can easily forget about
the nasty things we said about
each other’s choice.
And so, perhaps...
on Wednesday, November 9th,
I think, if you’ll agree with me,
it might be best to just get up,
and have a cup of coffee, and
peruse the headlines, see who won,
let out a silent cheer, or groan
(depending on who won, of course),
and then get dressed and go outside
and get on with our day,
and say,
"Thank God, we’re done with this whole thing
for four more years!"
and then we’ll say,
"Hey, sorry for that time I said
your candidate was a jerk, and you
said mine was a total creepazoid,
and we didn’t speak for days."
and then
let’s just agree to put it out
of both our minds. Whoever wins,
on that fine morning,
Wednesday, November 9th,
let’s just be friends again.
Okay?
