The only pole I believe in

Is the one my dog pee's on.

It's accurate every day

And gives much relief to my pup.

 

He knows why it's there;

Nobody fools him one bit.

No 15 second sound byte

Leads him to this pole.

 

It's accurate and trustworthy

And my dog salutes it each day.

No substitutions, it's there every morn,

Waiting for his deposit.

 

But come election day

Us humans will have our say.

Fooled once but not twice,

A new face for a new day.

I bet the grass is greener at that poll (:

Yes sadly we never know what we will get on election day
We hope the best, hold our breath, and see what happens

but the subject is a very serious one

A touchy subject, George. A fierce ideological war is coming that will even further divide this country. Personally I have no respect for the present administrations policies, nor the warring senate. Reminds me of something Isaiah prophesied:
“I will make boys their officials;
Mere children will govern them.
People will oppress each other
Man against man, neighbor against neighbor
The young will rise up against the old
The base against the honorable”
ISAIAH 3: 4&5

I get the hidden threat in your poem. The only poll that counts is the result from the election poll. I'm confident that the electorate will see through the well bought lies and half-truths and elect the individual with intelligence rather than bank roll.

I hope so, George, I truly hope so. And besides, he didn't fool me the first time.
