everyone who is eligible
shall fill out a card on this day
and they'll be hoping that it
is directed in the appropriate way

there's been a bit of noise
being made about postal ones
and the person who is in charge
of the mail was put under the gun

on the day there will be either
a congratulation or a commiseration
and people will hear of it throughout
the breadth of the nation  

who'll get the tick of approval
to do the job
which entails leading the country's
large mob

soon the day will arrive
on the scene
so says the calendar's
Tuesday screen
