It’s time to vote!* Huge placards fill
As elections go for overkill:
Extensive choice – in public places
Hoardings beam with smiling faces…
Leaflets flutter through my door
Promises - in printing small;
With coalitions to arrange,
Will the next five years bring change?
Meanwhile, each day on radio
Hopeful politicians throw
Their
well-worn hats into the ring;
I
seek the truth amid the din…
Predictions
here are hard to make
All
want shares in Belgium’s cake
With
budget deficit complex
How
to feather their new nest?
In
Brussels - roadwork projects vast
Absorb
our taxes way too fast;
Healthcare
needs an influx new
And
climate change has strong claims too…
So,
as I stand in Sunday’s queue
Deliberating
what to do
Will
neighbours’ comments give me clues?
The
onus lies on me to choose!
