The Political Blues by Rebekah Morris Oh, I’m afflicted with a terrible disease I call it the Political Blues. I don’t go around coughing or having to sneeze, It’s just that there’s so much to do! The disease comes on slowly, I’m hardly aware That anything’s wrong at all. First it’s a longing to get out in the air And make a political call. Then there are meetings to hear people talk, As though they had something to say, By then I am certain to go take a walk And oh, it’s a terrible day! My phone won’t stop ringing no matter the time, And my doorbell is dinging now too! I’m trying to tell you in this little rhyme, I’ve caught the Political Blues. But it only grows worse as the days quickly fly And it’s certain I’ve got it bad, For no matter how often I think with a sigh That I might be going mad, They call then to tell me to drop some more lit, Of phone calls I have to make, Until I am ready to throw a big fit Or maybe go jump in the lake! And then there are days when I didn’t get out To help the political campaign, I’ve wandered the house till the others must shout “Just go before you’re insane!” I’m tired of walking, phone calls and signs. I’ve hardly a voice to use. Yet it is certain I won’t quit the front lines! I’ve just got the Political Blues.
