FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY
\nWhen a voter votes multiple times
\nAnd is \u201cpunished\u201d for multiple crimes
\nWith a sentence commuted,
\nAre not others recruited
\nLikewise to vote multiple times?<\/p>\n

From the archive<\/em><\/p>\n

GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY
\nThough his body will surely decay,
\nA dead Democrat\u2019s ballot may stay:
\nHe moves in with the moles,
\nBut remains on the rolls
\nAnd continues to vote anyway.
\n(2012)<\/p>\n

NIGHT OF THE VOTING DEAD
\n\u201cWe\u2019ll be summoned from slumberous state
\nTo endorse the quadrennial slate;
\nThen it\u2019s back to the grave,
\nWhere we\u2019ll try to behave
\n\u2018Til another electoral date!\u201d
\n(2004)<\/p>\n

REGISTERED VOTERS
\nThe polls open and who comes in?
\nMary Poppins and Mickey Finn,
\nThen Betty Boop
\nAnd Alley Oop,
\nSherlock Holmes and Gunga Din!
\n(2004)<\/p>\n

TWO-DAY ELECTION?
\nTo ensure that the balloting may
\nProceed in an orderly way:
\nOn Tuesday, please note,
\nAll Republicans vote \u2013
\nAnd all Democrats on the next day.
\n(2002)<\/p>\n

WINNING BY A WHISKER
\n\u201cOur Party is poised to prevail
\nWith this new registration by mail:
\nAll corpses and cats
\nAre staunch Democrats,
\nSo our candidates simply can\u2019t fail!\u201d
\n(1998)<\/p>\n

ROCK THE VOTE (TO SLEEP)
\nIf free markets are something you dread,
\nOur Constitution is over your head,
\nAnd American history
\nTo you is a mystery,
\nOn election day, please, stay in bed!
\n(1998)<\/p>\n

Last week’s limerick<\/em><\/p>\n

CONTAGION
\nIt’s not spread by mosquitoes or fleas,
\nNor dispersed by a cough or a sneeze,
\nIt’s communicated by
\nThe half-witted and sly:
\nThe political kind of disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
