Poll I tics
"Vote for me." Why, we ask. What he'll do: End the war. Make things right. Bring troops home. Fix the debt. Tax the rich. Help the poor. Aid the sick. Make us proud. So we did. Time has passed. Is it done? Feels the same. Worse for some. Shouts of blame. Signs in streets. Got no jobs. Cash is short. Rich live large. World is mad. So are we. Now he comes. Time is short. Near the end. Time to choose. We need hope. What's he say? "Vote for me."
You and I
Is this yours? Have we met? Know my friends? Like this song? Shall we dance? Meet for lunch? Like this place? Walk you home? This your place? See you soon? Will we talk? Is this real? Dare I ask: See my heart -- Is this yours?
A dog's life
Took a nap. Food in bowl. Get a drink. Took a nap. Play with ball. Chew a shoe. Took a nap. Man is here! Walk a while. Took a nap. Get a drink. Boy is here! Play with ball. Run a while. Took a nap. Check food dish. Sniff some stuff. Took a nap. Life is good.
