Here’s another poem from the heart of the heartland from the call-in line at our weekly newspaper. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Where Are They At
by Anonymous Caller

I’ve been watching
these voting polls and stuff
on the news program

that’s usually in the voting lines.

You know,
people,
think about it.
