Election

Sally likes to cut herself
Another slice of chocolate cake
And eat away the pain
That eats away
At her.

And there is no joy in Mudville
For Mighty Casey has
Tested positive for performance enhancers
Instead of calling his shot, he’s called his entire sport
Into question.

Could Heaven and Hell
Be just two sides of the same coin
In the pocket of the preacher man
Who’s laughing
All the way to the bank?

There’s an SAT question
“Does he hit you because he loves you,
or
does he just love to hit you?”
The answer has
All the students
Beat.

See the old man gloating
He says boating
Is preferable to voting
It may be worth noting
That on Election Day
He’s elected to
Stay home.
