Stop Talking About the Vote

A poem by Hannah W. | 11/4/2008

Would everyone please stop talking
and yammering about the vote?
Stop deciding and analyzing
every word that they've spoke?

Stop telling us who's ahead so far,
and who's starting to fall back,
Stop speaking to us about the polls,
the lines and the signs and all that!

Please, I'm gonna be sick!
I already feel so ill,
each time they say one of their names,
And what state's red or what state is blue
I'm going insane,
from all the campaigns
I'm going insane it's true!

I don't want to hear about liberals,
maderates and conservatives
Give to me some mindless TV
And let's forget about this!

The voters, whether they're liberal,
Moderate or conservative
It's quite unanimous,
about what'd be fabulous:
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE VOTE!!!!

*I'm Hannah W., and I approve this message.*

uh, well the vote is deciding whos gonna be partly in control (plus the other people who help make decisions) of our country! and that can effect our parents, and grandparents! like if it became socialist (u may or maynot know what that means.)
yes the votings over now, so i may not be sure if u mean your tired of talking about it afterwards or b4 too. if u mean afterwards, ok. but b4 hand. well it's important.

Hey, people, I know the vote is important. I just am sick of hearing about it 24/7. Yes, we should fin dout all we can about our candidates, etc. But do we seriously need to talk about it every other sentence? Please. I have my sanity to consider. Or what's left of it. That's all I'm saying with this:
Yes, it IS important.
No, I do NOT want to hear about it every second of every day for a year.

Thank you and goodnight!
