Ode to the Floating Chad

[neonlyte]

Only rhyming answers, please



Remember, remember
that day in November
When floating chads
came to the fore.

When politics suffered
and voters were scuppered
and chads failed
failed to float to the floor



please continue dirge

And meanwhile poor Chad
who'd been fatally bad
was awaiting his fate on Death Row.

All of Florida awaited
with breath that was bated
the news we were done hanging Chad.

And meanwhile poor Chad
who'd been fatally bad
was awaiting his fate on Death Row.

All of Florida awaited
with breath that was bated
the news we were done hanging Chad.

Now Chad was left hanging
while Justice's wheels
stayed clanging,
the decision took most of the night.

And the following day
when Chad ceased to sway
the Justice's penned,
hanging Chads, hung right.

But Diebold does swear,
the process to repair,
To give us unbiased elections.

Your vote, it appears,
As it's cast, disappears.
Into a stream of invisible electrons.

To give us unbiased elections.

Your vote, it appears,
As it's cast, disappears.
Into a stream of invisible electrons.

In electon heaven,
votes vie to be given
the right to decided human fate.

But Diebold insists
that a flick of the wrist
ensures the mudane is great.

At least with a Chad
you know you've been had
and your vote is like piss in a tempest.

And ne'r do complain
if in Florida rain
your booth sings the song of a temptress.

 

[tickledkitty]

Diebold! Dear Doctor,
your faith, do not squander.
I tell you, they're not to be trusted.

I swear, 'tis the truth.
Please believe me, forsooth!
As I toiled there for more than a decade.

To be "supreme"
a court must seem
to be above the rabble.

But Bush sued Gore,
By five to four,
they found themselves a cabal.

Voting, schmoting,
stop emoting,
This train is off its track.

We'll put it right,
With George Bush Lite,
Who'll then invade iraq.

With sight of hind,
You'll surely find
That we've been quite scapegoated.

'Cause all in all,
Who lost that fall?
Those U.S. folks who voted.

But Iraq was a farce
a fart of the arse (ass)
poor Chad, he took a bummer.

This time around
make your vote truly sound
and make your cross for Obama.

There's reason to mourn
when these artists of porn
all address an election
without rhyming "erection."

you people are nuts

That doesn't rhyme.
Did you run out of time?

I might be forced to adds

In an brief interview
with chad 4002,
he was asked what he had supposed.
"Well, we tried at the peak
but those geezers were weak.
We hung and Kerry got hosed."

NEXT!!! What do you mean it's not a chain poem?

Now it's 2008
and we wait for our fate
at this stage, it looks plain sailing.

But imagine, if you will
that McCain falls quite ill,
and we end being governed by Palin.

If Palin becomes the President
it would certainly set quite a precedent.
I will naturally be very hesitant,
maybe even moving my residence.
What I would not be at all is reticent,
about seeking the very best medicant.

If the best system is democracy,
Better by far than theocracy,
Why can't they and we organise
A system we just can't criticise?

When a voter doesn't know
Whether a vote is just so -
Counted or not,
It matters a lot.

Unless voting is seen to be fair,
Then democracies should beware.
Many people died to save the right
To give politicians a real fright.

If the system is flawed,
Or the voters get bored,
Then democracy means naught
Whatever we are taught.

Free and fair the elections must be,
Unbiased for each and everyone to see,
Money and influence must flee,
Or else why praise our democracy?
