The Founding Fathers learned quite quick
That voters needed incentive.
More likely the voter would pick
The candidate with booze to give.
George Washington first gave no booze
When House of Burgess seat he sought.
That first election, George did lose.
George learned that voters wanted sot.
So next election, George did win
With an assortment of appeal -
Whiskey and rum and beer and gin,
And George got voted in with zeal.
Booze elected George Washington.
Today, he could make a pot run.
