Poll

A farmer drove into town. Some posters made him frown. They said, "Go to the Poll". He said,"In the pasture below?" "Right now, they're standing a'chowin'". (To understand this limerick, you must understand that a polled cow has no horns from birth)

Hilda, very funny indeed! We do need to consider the context of things to be sure we communicate with precision to all!

A laugh is good, sometimes barely understood. I hope to improve the limerick style.

What a unique approach to a limerick about voting! You should enter it in a contest! Enjoyed reading and thanks for the note about cows!

No, no. I'm not in a contest, but thanks for liking my poem. I wrote this poem because voting polls are coming soon. Cows make good poems. .

Great limerick, Hilda, on farmer duties and election voting. It analyzes the conflict between a farmer's rural existence and political participation.
