Awaiting The Governor Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Excitement galore as preparations are made for a
visit from Janet Napolitano, our present governor.
More chairs are needed, more shade too!
Microphones, flags, speakers and refreshments all
have to be arranged and rearranged.
Papers scattered along white fluffy tables, all are
awaiting our special guest at the center.
All democrats seated beneath a canopy, anticipating
answers to any and all questions.
Alight with the fire of celebrity, everyone sits
waiting, hoping she's early.
