These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Epizeuxis: "Vote!"

Vote, vote, vote, vote.
"Vote, today and do it right!"
Wrote, wrote, wrote, wrote
many words, some good, some trite.

Gentle, gentle, gentle, gentle.
Hope for kindness in this task?
Lentil, lentil, lentil, lentil.
Then some soup is all I ask.

Vote, vote, vote, vote.
"Responsibility, your job."
Rote, rote, rote, rote.
Hope the task's an easy lob.

Dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly.
What a task! I need D.Q.!
Really, really, really, really.
A dilly bar to eat when through.

Vote, vote, vote, vote.
A daunting task, but a privilege rare.
Quote, quote, quote, quote.
"You've done your job to show you care."
