Folks in Florida cast their votes

As all good citizens do

In West Palm Beach, the ballots read

'To vote for One, punch Two

And once you've punched it, punch it again,

And give it another good push

You thought you voted for Gore, surprise!!

You cast your ballot for Bush.'

In Florida the sun is shining

It's early bird dining

And early to bed

The Republicans said: “Stop the counting”

Gore's total is mounting

Let's quit while we're ahead

Katherine Harris hit the switch

Saying, 'This vote's certified

Off the Democrats went to court

Like hell the Republicans cried

A hundred million votes were cast

Including yours and mine

But in the end the only ones

That counted numbered nine

The boys and girls in black robes met

And held a tug of war

And when they cast their votes at last

Bush won it, 5 to 4

Five judges selected the president

Five judges had their way

And I expect they'll all retire

To Florida some day
