3rd place in The Perfect Shakespearean Sonnet Competition - Theme Political
It's that time of year again, who will win?

With Red, White and Blue covering the news,

get ready for the madness to begin,

with Elections expect lies and taboos.



With numbers so large they have no meaning,

facts that are in fact just made up, and some

candidates caught being so demeaning

to such a large percent, it’s just plain dumb.



With lame excuses and passing the buck

they hope to regain enough votes in time.

But then maybe it’s all just down to luck

and who is allowed in the voting line.



So climb aboard the Election Express.

Just choose which candidate lies to you less.




WON 3rd PLACE IN THE PERFECT SHAKESPEAREAN SONNET CONTEST - OCTOBER 2012  Open in new Window.
