An Ode to the Next Election by Clare L. Pieuk

Hello, my name is David

Give me your vote so I can save it

If elected there'll be a chicken in every pot

That will help you a lot

Your next leader

Will drive an old beater

"Change in which you can believe!" - reader

"Yes we can!"

Get out and vote man

Haha! Thanks for the tip Clare, and the challenge! I shall have to think about that ... see if the upcoming election inspires me in the least. Hmm ... and maybe you could take a crack at it, too.

Okay Clare, here ya go! :)

Of course this is not about Mr. Chartrand, who I'm sure is nothing like the character in the poem, who I've never met in person, and who is most certainly an honest and ethical politician with no character flaws whatsoever. It's more about a comic-book type politician, an absurdity, who resembles nobody real at all.

Baby, baby, give me your vote

And please make it count, cause I’m starting to bloat

On the privilege of power, long accustomed

While those other guys, you really can’t trust’em

Lady, lady, this is my place

See how I sit in this throne with such grace?

If you help me retain it, I’ll make it worth your while

If they say ‘croneyism,’ I’ll innocently smile

Mister, mister, I need your support

So tell me what you want, but you’d better make it short

Cause after I’ve won this, once and for all

I might not remember ever meeting you at all.
