Thanks but no thanks!

This silly little poem is linked to week 172 of Saturday Centus.   The prompt is in bold.   To read other 107 word offerings using this prompt, just click here.  PS.  It's fiction!
 
I’m campaigning as the Mayor of Stress Town

Take my pamphlet please!

I have lots of experience

As you can plainly see!

Three crazy ex's and Mom of three.

Single parent, poverty.

Being positive in spite of ick

Menopause and chronic sick

Eight step-kids and lots of Grands

I know you voters understand!

Mayor!  Mayor! 

Vote today!

Mayor!  Mayor!

What’s that you say?

Mayor!  Mayor!

There’s stinky pay?

Instead I get a parking space?

What!  Seriously!?! 

I’m out of this race!

I’m already Mayor of Stress Town.

Sadly this is true.

But at least if you don’t elect me!

I don't have to take care of you!

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
