This Is A Difficult Choice

Rating: 5.0


I got my ballot today
to vote for president of
The United States. It came
in the mail. Mine always does.
I have been voting this way
for years. There are six choices.
Seven names on the ballot,
but one I will not even
consider. There are Robert
Ardini, Mathew Matern,
Bob Ely, Joe Walsh, Bill Weld,
and Roque de la Fuente.
This is the order that they
are listed on the ballot,
with that other guy listed
at the bottom, exactly
where he belongs. Who are these
other six? I never heard
of any of them before!
I need to do some research.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I always do my voting by mail. This way, I get my ballot early and have lots of time to study it before it is due, and I am never surprised when I go to the polls (because I don't even need to go there) .
Another perk: if politicians call me to plead for my vote, I can just tell them I have already voted!

Just write in my name... no worries about that to be certain... I couldn't get elected in a one man race.

What a wonderful way to vote for the Chief Executive of the country. Very smart. I agree with your brilliant thoughts in your Poet's Notes. Yes, a responsible citizen must always vote and do some research to be able to vote wisely. Informative and insightful write. Loved it.

I may very well vote for Mike Bloomberg. I have seen some of his ads, and so far I have liked what I have seen.
