One day a logical man came to town;

He stopped at the bar, and he bought us a round.

We talked all about the upcoming election–

How we needed a man with a brand new direction.

He said, “Yea, I know, we’re all in the same boat,

But it seems such a waste of my time to go vote.”

We all were appalled, and we asked the man, “Why?”

“Well, my vote doesn’t count, unless there’s a tie,

And the chances of such are exceedingly small–

So you see, my one vote doesn’t count after all.”

I jumped to my feet and said, “That may be true,

But tell us then, what if we all thought like you?”

The logical man sipped his beer, cleared his throat,

And shrugging his shoulders, he said, “Then I’d vote!”
