daisies gone
counting votes with a mum
Bush, Gore, Bush, Gore. . .
 

another news flash
of who won the election
thunder and lightning
 

made but unknown
the will of the people
petals in a bud
 

democracy at work
a wind from the south
scatters petals
 

honest count
the mother cat licks
each kitten
 

butterfly ballots
some say they can fly
to a Bush
