On Monday I will wear my uniform - A blazer from Goodwill, old khaki slacks - Knot my made-in-China patriotic tie And verify that my papers are in order On Monday I will sortie through the candidates  - I’m important to them on this one day - Then work around their signs all slogan-trapped And rush the doors through a hail of cliches’ And watched by comrades with their helmets blue Vote for a Merovingian or two

Voting in my Primitive Village
On Monday I will wear my uniform - A blazer from Goodwill, old khaki slacks - Knot my made-in-China patriotic tie And verify that my papers are in order On Monday I will sortie through the candidates  - I’m important to them on this one day - Then work around their signs all slogan-trapped And rush the doors through a hail of cliches’ And watched by comrades with their helmets blue Vote for a Merovingian or two
Early voting begins in Texas on the 22nd of October. Despite the many days and many opportunities and many polling places, only about 50% of the electorate vote. Apparently the other 50% are too busy complaining.
