The Laureate-Your Coming Vote

You’ve watched the boos and bravos
from candidates and their foes.
Now you must pick the honest words
from what the half-truth ads disclose.

You’ve read the replies on issues
that made some search for tissues...
from answers that were so oblique
they knew those were just ballyhoos.

No wonder fans of Blue and Red
tend to vote the tint instead...
a guide that’s fraught with danger
if parties merely stay inbred.
