Poems-Elections Elections are less than a week away And all the candidates have something to say. With nervy tenure the ads were on the wing Tossing the dirt as far and as much as they could fling. When the signs are all up with their names posted there I always say..."Voter, Beware!" It's not their programs that they'll try to move But the largess in their pockets that they'll try to improve. I won't say I'm not cynical about election day I work as a judge during that crazed fray. Candidates all quote Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln for sure It would be better for us, if they knew who they were!
