That is how I vote

I'm obviously getting tired of all the politics now.  I've already mailed in my absentee ballot but am upset that my sister's ballot is being returned from China because the address couldn't be read.  At least this satirical piece came out of my frustration...and yes I eat a fistful of romaine each week.  Written in the form of a bizarre political conversation...

That is how I vote

I will only vote for candidates
Who believe in a fistful of romaine in every household
And I mean a fistful of romaine!
What do you mean by a fistful?
Do you mean baby size or Paul Bunyan size?
I have allergies to romaine.
Well...okay...
I will only vote for candidates
Who believe in something like a fistful of romaine
In every household.
What do you mean by a household?
I live in a condo.
I live in an apartment.
I live on the street.
Well...okay...
I will only vote for candidates
Who believe in something like a fistful of romaine
In the dwelling place of their choice.
But I don't like anything like romaine.
Well...okay...
I will only vote for candidates
Who believe in something or nothing like romaine
At the place of their choosing
If that's alright with them.
That is how I vote.
And that is how I will make choices for the American people.
