South African Elections
End Apple-ly for some,
Though impotent erections
Up Pear-ently have come.
A Naartjie is averted,
Banana Republic, too?
Im-Peach meant’s not asserted
As something they will do.
Plum-p pockets may continue
Corruption without Paw-paws —
Water-Melon cholic sins you
Find politicians cause!
Grape pleasure they’ll be taking —
In fact, be feeling Cherry —
In conse-Quince of making
Blackcurrent land mob merry.
One Fig-ures Lemon-tations
May well be widely heard;
Would Guava race relations
Sub-Lime? — but that’s absurd!

Fruit basket will not turn over. No smoothie being made. Finely pulped indeed.

Thank you! All the salad needs for perfection is clotted cream or ice cream!

Most of them lately are lemon-table and end on a sour note.

Thanks. A mention of a naartjie by granddaughter, sounding like anarchy, set me off.

Excellent. A very fruitful summation, Mister N.
I did not follow any of it, although my two cast their lots.
I presume the ANC took it? Did the DA make any headway this time around?

The ANC took it but lost ground. So did the DA, but will still be official opposition. Seriously scary parties like Blacks First Brains Last made a showing.
