I'M An Other

I’m an “Other” By George W. Clever-------10 November 2015 I’m an “other” how about you Are you an “other” too? Our Congressman asked for my opinion on his officious form Questions about federal budgets, deficits and **** What did I think about ISIS and fair taxes? Would I choose gun control, baby killings or free college classes? It would only take fifteen minutes he promised To complete the survey so he could keep Congress honest. Filling each and every circle Until my pencil gripping fingers turned shades of purple. Support a cut in Medicaid? No more Senior raises in boxes soon they’ll be laid? Give illegals the right to vote? Make marijuana a legal tote? English language must be spoken? Attacks on Christians are not a joke? Health care for all? And who will pay? At last the political questions were at end Just fill out the last questions about me and send Address zip code and age were easy The next question made me queasy Could not ask my deceased Father or Mother White- Black- Hispanic- Asian or Other? No American Indian I suppose
