An Ode to November

By Isaac M. Morehouse

I saw a man on a corner street, yelling out a name.

He told me, “Vote for this guy!”, I said, “They’re all the same”.

He yelled, “This one’s different; he’ll give us what we need!”

“That’s what I’m afraid of”, I said and turned to leave.

The man yelled, “Wait! Stop! I still don’t understand”.

I said, “What I need ain’t the business of any other man”.

He hung his head and groaned, still clearly in the dark,

“You’re with the other party; they’ve surely missed the mark!”

I said, “Sir, I don’t care too much for parties,

Freedom’s what I’m about.

Whether it’s in the bedroom or the boardroom

The only place for government is out.”
