Florid-uh's Recount
Author: Unknown

Can we count them on our toes?
Shall we count them with our nose?
Should we count them in the sand?
I know, let's count them all by hand!
And if we do not like the count,
We will simply throw it out!
I will not let this vote count stand;
I do not like it, ALGore I am!

Can we change these numbers here?
Can we change them, calm my fears?
What do you mean -- Dubya won?
That is not fair! It ruins my fun!
Let's count them upside down this time,
Let's count until the state is mine;
I will not let this vote count stand,
I do not like it, AlGore I am!

I'm really ticked, I'm in a snit;
You have not heard the last of it;
I'll count the ballots one by one,
And hold each one up to the sun;
I'll count, recount and count some more,
You'll grow to hate this little chore;
I will not let this vote count stand,
I do not like it, AlGore I am!

I won't leave office -- I'm stayin' here;
I've glued my desk chair to my rear!
Tipper, Hillary, Bubba, too,
Are all telling me to SUE!
"We find the Electoral College vile!
Recount the votes until WE smile!
We do not want this vote to stand;
We do not LIKE it, AlGore-I-am!"

How shall we count this ballot box?
Let's count it standing in our socks!
Shall we count this vote in a tree?
And who shall count it, you or me?
We will not, cannot count enough;
We must not stop, we must be tough;
I do not want this vote to stand,
I do not like it, AlGore I am!

I've counted till my fingers bleed,
And still can't sate my counting need.
I'll count the votes on the floor,
And even count the ones next door;
And will not say that I am done,
Until it's certified that I've WON!
I will not let this vote count stand,
I do not like it, AlGore I am!

What's that? What? What's that you say?
You think the current count should stay??
You do not like my counting scheme?
It makes you tense? It makes you scream?
Now there, folks, you're wrong, you'll see!
Your only care should be for ME!
I will not let this vote count stand!
I do not like it, AlGore I am!
