IS VOTING A CIVIC OBLIGATION?

You have no civic obligation
To cast a vote unless you think
You’re justified by cogitation
That none could say is rinky-dink.
For what’s at stake in our elections,
Deserve we give them deep inspections;
And anyone who can’t do that
Should simply stay at home, a prat.
Who claim that voting is a duty 
No matter what you know or don’t 
Are persons who would not say “won’t” 
Despite a pol’s being Howdy Doody. 
In other words, to get your vote   
They’ll say whatever floats your boat.
