Phone Call

Tomorrow’s an election;
All the platforms are the same
And with many in contention,
Who knows who will gain acclaim?

All these leaflets, mailings, handshakes
Have been driving me insane.
‘Til the voting season’s over,
This campaigning is a pain.

But I know for whom I’m voting,
‘Cause she called me on the phone
And it wasn’t a recording,
Something I would not condone.

But she also left her number,
Saying I should call her back,
Rare for any politician,
Even one who’s right on track.

With so many in the race,
It must be hard to stay afloat,
But it only took a phone call
To secure my needed vote.
