In last week’s post on the election [confusion.cc] I mentioned how close Trump is to winning made me feel like I am on that boat with Willy Wonka… IFKYK. So. I looked up the “lyrics” (yea apparently it’s considered a song, called Wondrous Boat Ride) to the ride, you can see them here [lyricsondemand.com], and I came up with my own parody for the election:
To the voting booth and home again
That's the democratic way
Faster faster, faster faster
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction this election's going
There's no knowing how swing states are voting
Based on what the polling is showing
Is it red, is it blue
Is a landslide a-coming
No sign of advantage is showing
So the uncertainty keeps on growing
Are the fires of fascism a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the uncertainty must be growing
For the pollsters keep on polling
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are knowing
