On the Election

a.k.a. Temptation to hibernate til May

The identified date’s been corroborated
And the media’s utterly saturated
But from vague, trite debate
Will not one deviate
So apathy reigns unadulterated

3WW: deviate identify saturate

  1. So creative to take these words and make a sweet, tightly woven rhyme AND tie it into what is fresh on the minds of so many.

    THANK YOU!

  3. This strikes me at the heart, since I've been tapped to work election night and cover it. Very creative - and up-to-date.

  4. I really understand the "saturated" part. I usually make up my mind long before that last frantic campaigning.
