Vermont Politics
Vermont Politics
By Holly Stone
Mt. Mansfield Union High School, Grade 11
Politics and food, they say,
Are the fodder of our nation
That lack of one, or both, suppose,
Could cause mental aberration.
So in a tiny, rural town
Like my beloved Jericho,
There are married to each other
In an event quite apropos.
It shows, without a doubt,
The character of our state
We get right down to the point:
With “Crackers, cake, and candidates.”
