Poles Apart
I
May made a snap call for Polling Day,
time to mark man’s hard won right,
women’s even longer fight, for that
fiction called Democracy. Cast away!
Candidates call from opposite sides:

sports personalities, latest evictions,
B list celebs (ignore their convictions).
So we got Trump and risk a war.
