I'm finding the scene rather odd
Quite frankly, it smells like a fraud
Though this primary election's a Democratic selection
Republicans are voting for Tod

(Yes, I know it's 字余り　but it wouldn't fit otherwise. So deal.)

You have more 字余り　than even I did. But now, a haiku:

I handle the pan
Republican ambition
the flash warms my hands

I tell my kids to never lie
And always tell the truth
They would not change a building's size
While hiding it from Huth

And Chynoweth and Whelan too
He kept it from them all;
Library Board told them the facts
In an eleventh hour call

But now Tod takes the credit
For expanding our library
Despite the council minutes
Which tell a tale quite contrary

And so on Tuesday I will choose
An honest candidate
I will not check the box for Tod
I've got my head on straight.
