FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY

by Kim Doyle


It's good to know that the biggest
political party is the non-voting block.

I mean, we wouldn't want to go off
half-cocked, now would we?

Selecting the representatives of the people
demands a lot of thought like,

what hath man wrought and stuff like that.
I'll get my yoga mat and rest on it.

I am blinking thinking about it,
don't rush me.

Oh, what was that you say?
The election was yesterday.


Kim Doyle votes at every election in which he is eligible but is generally on the losing side.
