"At the Polling Place, a Song," by David Weller

I ran across this old poem of several years ago that unfortunately ring true today! It's a tongue-in-cheek experience of a voter's visit to the polling place..


Lasting in Line
is a crazy thing...
There is so much to do
before you can be voting

there is the heartfelt
chatter of hazing,
by those that have voted...

there is the cute
crashing of the computer,
by those that assist voters...

there is the quaint
intimidation,
by those that tell the total vote...

Yes, Lasting in Line
is a crazy thing...
There is so much to do
by those that help voters!

Oh, Lasting in Line
is a crazy thing...
There is so much to do
by those that help voting!
