The Ditch Pitch All along this old road there is a cardboard parade But what should we make of this political charade? They come in all sizes but vary little in shape Brightly printed in colors, though not lately in grape We see lily-white letters on a field of true blue So we wonder, does this mean we should trust only you? The largest among them is awash in yellow-gold A statement of the volume of the money you hold? Does a fading orange sign mean “so new and so arty”? Could it possibly be it’s about that third party? Over there is another in a really nice red Should we suppose, do you think, it will get you ahead? To the right’s a fresh new one with a background so bright That we’ll have to admit would be visible at night Coming up on our left there’s one all decked out in green We think it quite clear what it should be taken to mean While pondering these questions we could sing a road song Or jot down silly poems as we are driving along © 100402 (4) |

Good read. These one dimensional loss of trees are about all the substance one gets in these issue-less election campaigns. Seems to be the fashion of the one dimensional would be leaders to attack each other. A sort of studio wrestling we buy into. Given just two choices that's what you get. |
