Out On The Hustings
they're out on the hustings
trying to garner a vote
they're all full of those
tired old candidate quotes
they're telling the us
what they'll do for the electorate
their policy platforms
shall be open to debate
just this week
they've promised the electors everything
yet there is little substance
to the songs they sing
the clock quickly counts down
to the election day
that's when us savvy voters
shall have our final say
we're sizing up the best
of a bad bunch for a win
if he lets us down
we'll remove his winning grin
a term in office
will be all that he'll be getting
so let's hope he has
the right policy settings
the rhetoric is flying around
out state seat
though not much of it
is absent of a well regulated beat
the candidates are all on notice
at the forthcoming May poll
then we'll see
whose heads will go for a roll
