Shall we look into a crystal ball
Or flip a coin to guess the score?
The fifty States play hard to guess
Some red, some blue, some in distress …
Are exit polls wide of the mark?
Statistics paint a picture stark
But all predictions have a flaw
270 the magic score…
Election speeches, hope in check,
The outcome still unknown and yet
Newscasters round the world debate,
Will postal votes be a tie-break?
En masse, new voters join the line
Determined to be heard this time
Their voices raised in indignation;
Who will lead this complex Nation?
Time zones vast; perforce delay
Sharp focus on “swing States” today
To keep momentum, stats are flowing
But as to who will win – no knowing…
