Election madness

Election Madness

32 lines

The county sheriff
Was worried
The elections
Were coming up

And demonstrators
And counter-demonstrators
Were preparing
To demonstrate
In front of city hall

He was hoping
That the election madness
Would not get out of hand

Politics was getting
So personal and heated.
He was up for re-election
and he and his wife,
had received death threats.

The country sheriff
Had gone for a walk
Stood on top
Of the mountain top.

Looking down
At the city below
Enjoying the view
.
But noting it was one hour later
Due to the change in time

Prompt words

Change in time
