CHAD! YOU SWUNG THE VOTE

I Voted
For Chad
And I
Was Bushed

I Tried To Vote
And Gored
My Finger

I Could
Not Find
The Punch
I Made

I Guess
I Left It
In My Hand

Now I Know
Where
My Vote Went

I Made
My Impression
When I Voted
For Chad

The Only
Problem
He Dropped
To The Floor

He Was
So Impressed
I Cast
My Vote

Now They’re
Picking Him Up
Off The Floor

Not Counting
On Him
Anymore

He Took
A Position
Only He
Would Make

To Stand
On His
Ground
Firmly
In Place

There Were
Many Chad’s
Left In
The Race

Others
Were In
A Family
Way

Waiting
For Dimple
To See
Them Through

He
Was Not Open
To The View

Counting
On Him
To Come
On Out
He Was
Last
To Know

He
Landed
Far Behind
The Race

After All
Of This,
He
Was Bushed
And Gored

Who
Would Want
To Do
It Again?

To Cast
Your Vote
And Be
Counted More?

The Winner!
Who Else
Who is
Pushing
For More

Bush wins
and I
get Gored.

A Play of Words
