It’s one of those times
when I’m almost too sick to rhyme,
and my mind keeps on spinning all day;
I have watched all the news,
the pundits thick views,
the politicians
lying their way into power
wearing gucci-flage camo,
carrying guns without ammo,
frightened they may need a shower.
It’s a bit too much
that he won’t even touch
what he claims to have butchered for fun;
it’s the photo he figures
with his hand on the trigger
that we’ll all believe he is the one.

I'm joining the serene one on this, on all counts.
*sigh* being a vegetarian, I always cringe at the hunting scenes no matter who holds the killing device. But I shall vote for this man Kerry, wishing for another alternative.
To quote U2,
"I still haven't found what I'm looking for."
'tis not my favorite duty, to be a voter.

You know ... I am not even voting as I am a Canuck, anf up until now tried to follow until it got so circular I gave up. I am not watching one more thing about this election and just waiting to see what happens, like most everyone else I guess.
