An election? Is that what that is lol? And there was me thinking it was all a sideshow.
'The time has come' the President said
'To talk of many things:
Of terrorists and deficits,
of oil prices and voting
And why Iraq is boiling hot
And whether Democrats are kings'
But wait a bit,' the voters cried,
'Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And most of us are fat!'
No hurry! said the President.
They thanked him much for that.
............
With thanks to Lewis Carroll
