Uh Oh

A Fine Point Sharpie will bleed right through
Your facial-quality ballot to the opposite side
To create dots where you don't want it to.
A machine could reject it: your vote denied.

You choose your candidates with the utmost of care.
Be proud of your conscientious citizenship.
Avoid unwanted dots on your ballot. Beware!
Choose a simple black ballpoint, not a fiber tip.
