Try to remember the kind of November
When no one whined except the shallow.
Try to remember democracy's tender.
Our sacred right to vote is hallowed.
Try to remember that recent November
That spawned a Big Lie that's too hard to swallow.
Try to remember to vote this Roevember, and follow!
Try to remember our rights are all embers
Our votes are what can make them billow.
Try to remember at polls this November
The Right wants to smother your rights with a pillow.
Try to remember the GOP members
Whose claims and treasonous lies ring hollow.
Try to remember to vote this Roevember, and follow!
