That US Presidential Election

Now Mitt the Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan
Were engaged in serious competition
The president must be decided by election
And they were up against
Barak the Obama and his running mate Joe Biden
The ultimate prize to occupy the white house
For a week many did cast their ballot
In the end they totalled a lot
Many had to wait in long lines
But for them that was fine
The day came for them to express their choice
This was giving the people a voice
At the end of the day the polls did close
But long lines a challenge did pose
The right to vote no one would be denied
Of his constitutional right disenfranchised
And so two, three, four, five, six hours they waited
Waiting their vote to cast
But oh for life in this age of technology
The age of instant savvy
For while some waited others proceeded
Yes one boasted for whom his vote he would cast
yes as loudly he boasted an announcement was made
The election has benn called and your man lost
While some waited in line their ballot to cast

I voted for a third party candidate Gary Johnson. I found out he pushed the vote towards Obama like Ralph Nader did in 2000 that cost Al Gore the election. I only waited about three minutes to vote because I went early. The blacks are happy that Obama is still their president. They say ignorance is bliss, so I'll let them be happy, even if they're being duped again.peace elephant chicken
