America Goes to the Polls!

 All eyes across The Pond today

Uneasy lull as people pray

For an outcome that is just:

Who will surmount the media fuss?

 

Last minute frenzy over polls

For someone out there, the bell tolls

The Nation totters on the brink

 Uncommitted voters have last think…

 

To avoid close contact, postal votes

Have made a comeback, like bank notes;

Counting them will take some time

This fight will go up to the line!

 

Obama’s “Yes, we can!” recalled;

With this clear message – how he scored!

Now COVID clouds the campaign trails

And substance has gone off the rails…

 

We’ll know the outcome soon enough

Although the going will be tough

But who will lose, concede defeat?

For now, we hang on edge of seat!
