Sometimes I forget and fill out my list
Just as I did in days gone by:
Do laundry
Get groceries
Call Carolyn
Hem pants
Clean bird cage
Cook squash
Pull weeds
Then I notice the fine print,
Just like the warning on November’s ballot:
Vote for two
Vote for ONLY two
If you vote for MORE than two
Your vote will not be counted
And your ballot will be discarded.
Thrown away? Wasted?
It’s discrimination, I say.
It seems as though everybody else
Can make a list and do it all,
But I can only vote for two.
