I'm sure the Frauditors will soon start screaming for another recount. Surely someone in the GOP will demand a recount of the audit of the recount that recounted the audit of the third recount of the recount that recounted the initial audit of the first recount. Am I right?
in honor of Trump's Big Lie and the insanity of the GOP's desire to undermine our democracy, I have posted Emmett Lee Dickinson's now-classic poem "When they count the votes" below on the left. Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "When they count the seeds," below on the right.
| By Emmett Lee Dickinson: When they count the votes For the seventh time, They loom and lie and lie – When they con the people Stoop so low, To be perceived as high – When they believe the grifter Yet they do forsooth – Put their faith in falsehoods And avoid the Truth, They pursue the Big LIe, unsuccessfully | By Emily Dickinson: When I count the seeds That are sown beneath, To bloom so bye and bye – When I con the people Lain so low, To be received as high – When I believe the garden Mortal shall not see – Pick by faith its blossom And avoid its Bee, I can spare this summer, unreluctantly. |
