Poem: ‘Primarily Independent’

,

independentI am feeling put upon
Pushed to state whose side I’m on
Think the whole thing’s just a con
I’m an Independent voter

Watching one speech, then another
I can’t pick which pol I druther
Maybe I’ll just ask my mother
I’m an Independent voter

Court me with your robo call
I’ll weigh your pitch with all my all
Though in your trap I’ll surely fall
I’m an Independent voter

This year I am leaning Trump
But Bernie wows us on the stump
Still I’m feeling like a chump
I’m an Independent voter

While we have you…

… we have a small favor to ask. More and more people are reading the Humor Times, but advertising revenues for internet sites everywhere keep falling. And unlike so many other websites, we have not put up a paywall -- we want to keep this much-loved (and much-needed!) political humor free, if possible!

So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Humor Times' unique content takes a lot of time and effort to produce... but we do it because we believe uncompromising political satire is more important than ever these days.

If everyone who reads and likes our website helps fund it, we can continue to help people laugh at the news, rather than cry about it! For as little as $1, you can support the Humor Times – and it only takes a minute. Thank you!

(Note: While this link will take you to a PayPal page, you have the option of using your credit card without joining PayPal. All amounts in USD.)

Or, please consider becoming a Sustaining Supporter via our Patreon Page, contributing a certain amount each month. You can do it for as long or as short a time as you like. It's a huge help with our monthly budget!

And/or, subscribe to the monthly Humor Times magazine! Subscriptions make great gifts!
