To The Polls

I wonder if we will be laughing or crying when the count is in for all of those incumbents we know so little about and have high hope that he or she will make a difference in our lives.

You can bet our President is living in high hopes today.

So today is the day. Get out there and vote. Do your duty as an American citizen because your one vote does count. Like you, I am tired of listening to all of the volatile angry words being spewed around like cookie crumbs . . . which reminds me of my first attempt at writing a story poem:

Crumbs

Whenever there is food around/crumbs are sure to follow/for they begin to multiply/before you even swallow.

you get up in the morning/along with the sun/struggle down the stairway/but never see a crumb.

Evidence is mounting/you left a glass or two/which never made the trash can/and it isn't Mountain Dew.

The salsa and the chip dish/are sitting side by side/and if you look real close like/you'll see where crumbs did slide.

They settle in the chair seats/even underneath/some fall in the carpet/others trail your feet/

Crumbs in the kitchen/crumbs in the sink/crumbs in the bathroom/crumbs behind the door/crumbs everywhere even on the floor.

Get out the vacuum/get out the broom/Chase them all about/crumbs will never give up, not without a fight.

So today, brush the crumbs off your lap and get out there and have your say. Let's pray for 'common sense' to prevail and the person or persons will remember the promise they make today when they are elected to office and go to work to preserve the American Dream. An honest days pay for an honest days work. So, light a candle, it may show them the way. Hugs to all.
