An election

 

                                      Friends, Countrymen!

listen through out the land.

Election time is near

And I am your man.”

 

“I will give you back what is rightfully yours..

I will even up the score.”

 

“I promise you more money for health.

The rich and the poor will share the wealth.”

 

“I promise more ‘law and order.’

More jails, more fines, justice will be restored.”

 

“Yes! I will bring an end to your woes,

vote for me on election day.”

 

“And you may well ask, how will I do this?

 

I will sell off all your assets.”

 

“Friends! Countrymen!

Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla.”
