The hoardings were not taken down
Because we have another round
Of posters – in assorted colours
Amalgamated groups – and others!
This time, against October hues
We queue again to give our views
In terms of Province and Commune
In the same venue as June!
The local school* just down my street
Is open now for vote discreet
We need to show our I.D. card;
A quick check – it isn’t hard …
We place our plastic card in slot
Make our language choice, then stop
As lengthy lists appear on screen
With many names I’ve never seen …
No matter - I must now decide;
Perhaps a party I’ve not tried?
I press a button – and ‘tis done;
Tonight, we’ll all be told who’s won!
