'twas the night before elections
'twas the night before elections
and all through the state
all politicians were running
on that one important date
Democrats and Republicans
had just settled down
from many a messy campaign
to win that illustrious crown
And I with my registration
had many days ago
cast my ballot for the ones I thought were best
at least by a toe.
and now sitting back
with election day in sight.
I hope the election is smooth
and not a Halloween fright.
Regardless of who wins
Republican or Democrat.
I hope politicians do what's best
and aren't a slimy rat.
I hope Americans everywhere stand up
and work for much needed change.
From small villages and towns
to where the nation's seal hangs.
I do hope this country
which I love so dear
becomes a nation to admire
not an empire to fear
I hope extinction, debt,
an absence of work,
corruption in Washington
politicians with pork.
I hope these things are no longer left to our youth
instead they are left with a country that cares
for all peoples in all nations
in ours and theirs
This is my hope
as I settle down this night.
Happy election day to all.
Help make this country a shining light.
Suddenly had the impulse to write something. Definitely not the greatest poem! But enjoy! If you haven't already voted...PLEASE go vote! Only one day left.
