Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #123
The Votes Were In
by Belinda Roddie
The votes were in, and Caitlin was the new
class president, though her rival, Marshall,
was so unhappy that he nearly threw
a hissy fit once he heard the results.
Caitlin had work to do, but Marshall's friends
tried as hard as they could to undermine
her ideas and efforts to amend
some school policies. They even designed
a propaganda smear campaign. At last,
the principal stepped in and almost bit
the boys' heads off with his verbal whiplash.
"Caitlin deserves to be president. It
is immature to bully her. Marshall,
this hate is why you didn't win at all."
