THE TRUTH OF IT ALL

Wind, sleet, and rain.

This a sure sign that winter is near

A truth we can rely on

With no need to fear

The mid-term elections are over

But the counting of votes goes on

Systems of voting vary in each state

Some send ballots out for early voting

Whether requested or not

Many do not trust this system

Deceased people may vote only once

Identification is not always required

Canvasing with ballots and helping

The unaware residents’ vote is

Not a legal method, but goes on

This to the dismay of many

Voting on ballots before the debates

Does not make much sense, especially

If the candidate dies or develops

Health issues as in Pennsylvania

Some electors do not watch the debates

Especially if cartoons are on another channel

They claim there is not much difference

And already know how they are going to vote

If it was good enough for grandpa and dad

Then it is surely good enough for me

Why employ critical thinking

It is easier to accept inflation;

High energy prices for heating;

High fuel prices for driving;

Shortages of many items;

Including baby food;

High-interest rates;

Begging foreign countries to lower oil prices;

Accepting our government’s ban on drilling

For oil, natural gas; and mining coal;

The loss of high-paying jobs;

Five million illegals; a hundred thousand

Fentanyl deaths; human trafficking;

Welfare costs for the illegals

These things we can accept if only

Our side wins legally or otherwise
