The General Election

Well the time has come to vote again.

​Please use your chance to vote as it's a right which we are privileged to have, not everyone does and people gave their lives to allow us to vote. You can get plenty of help and advice if it is your first time and even if you are undecided, take a look at the mandates and go for something you know is important to you. Whoever you vote for and whoever wins the votes tomorrow lets respect this democracy and move forward. 

I wrote a little verse about the election.......

Join the right queue
receive a paper to view
Who will you choose?
Who will win? and Who will lose?
It's not easy for all
Are we on the up or due for a fall?

The important thing is to be there
for those who gave their lives, it's only fair
You may still want to ask questions
even offer some suggestions
But please go today
and have your own say

It's not about which colour you prefer
or which leader, a him or a her
It's about the promise that is made 
and which party won't let your dreams fade
From beginning to end
with good policies that blend

Tomorrow is always another day
the result may not go your way
Let none of us get mad
a democracy has been had
Go forward is what we do
only another four years to get through

It will be a long long night
ballot boxes only know of the plight
Lots of counting to be done
checked again but not for fun
The finish is all so formal
can we please now get back to normal?


Whatever normal is, but we'll see. Thank you for reading and I will catch you tomorrow for Free From Friday

Take care.
