Little Miss Dixie, The Voting Poll Pixie

~*Marge Tindal*~

The sun will shine brightest in Dixie
where the little voting poll pixie
is as busy as busy can be
counting votes to proclaim a victory


In the too-close-to-call race for
the presidential seat of this land
It'll be either Bush and Cheney
or Gore and Lieberman

We'll get the news right to you
as soon as we finish the count
Then we'll see which candidate
gets to WAHOO with a shout !


V -I - C - T - O - R - Y
will belong to the team with the highest tote
The people of the land have spoken
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOTE

I sure hope Little Miss Dixie finishes the tally soon...We are just soooooooooo anxious to see who it will be!!!  I know they say things are laid back in the south, and life doesn't just rush by....but, we Yankees are constantly running and need to know......at least this Yankee.....Love this patriotic post Marge.

Marge, I really like this one, although I've not got a clue about either of them. (I wouldn't really would I?) Anyway it's a great poem and I love it.
Take care

Neat poem ! What I wouldn't give, for a man strong enough
to tell special interest groups 'where to go' and
cater to the interests of 'we, the people'.
Sometimes, GOOD just ain't good enough.

Marge, had to come back for another read, cause I wanted to. So take me through this s l o w l y Whom is who?

Please tell me whom is who
Because I don't have a clue
Who they are or what they do
Please I'm really asking you
Have they played foul or fair
Which one will be best there
Will they be a fool or more
Which one will get the score
I've no idea who plays the game
Won't they be very much the same
So this is my little question rhyme
And I do thank you for your time

Marge, I think this is a great poem, love it.
Take care
             Mushy Marsha

Cute poem. Maybe you should use this to encourage people to vote. Nicely done. Way to put a little laugh on a serious subject. Loved it.
