Vote for Me

I admit I ain’t too smart

and so I thought I’d do my part

so now you know the reason why

I’m giving politics a try!

I have noticed every blunder

givers them politicians plunder

they turn into hidden cash

by doing things so dumb and rash

they act just like my next of kin

and so I knew I’d fit right in!

But then I found I must decide

which party platform I could ride

to find someone I can unseat

where they go down in sound defeat

and by the party that’s rejected

I can get myself elected

that’s when I noticed with a twist

that party somehow don’t exist!?

And so I knew what I would do

I’d start a party so brand-new

we’d need a mascot we could trust

with views like ours reflecting us

and so it is I need your vote

for though my chance is quite remote

the mascot that I represent

means I could be your President

for every breach of law or code

you’ll find me middle of the road

just like the Possum where I’m from

so vote for me, I’m Gunther Flumm!

Sincerely forever,

— Gunther Flumm, Nashville
