The “Term”inator

(Reflecting on November 8, 1994’s election returns when the shift turned towards Republicans.)

The ballot machine has done its deed –
Its dye has now been cast.
Elections saw some faces new.
Many dinosaurs in the past.

The ballot secret is made known.
Some think – oh great, at last!
For those who’ve weathered its harsh pain,
Might say, it came too fast.

On this sailboat, with turns we make.
The winds do change our mast.
The terminator did terms undo.
The implications will be vast.
