Fencepost Runs for School Board, Wins in Landslide
Ma said, “He’s firm, don’t say much,”
While Pa admired his wooden touch.
Lou made buttons–“Post for Kids!”
Granny carved signs from old barn lids.
The preacher tried to raise a stink,
But even he said, “That post won’t blink.”
No scandals, tweets, or bribed cuisine,
Just standing tall and evergreen.
Debates were brief, he stood his ground,
While rivals babbled round and round.
He won with 90% of vote,
Even beat the goat with coat.
Now policies are nailed down tight,
And recess lasts till farming night.
So next time folks demand some sense,
They look no further than the fence.
