Sonnet: Forgot to Vote??
Lady Penelope means business when it comes to voting and she doth scorns the apathetic citizen in her sonnet “Forgot to Vote??”. Me thinks Tomatoes might thoroughly enjoy following Lady P’s “Sonnets from Suburbia” on social media.
If you forgot to vote and do complain
‘Bout harsh realities that now exist,
Blame no one else, o’ let me make it plain
Your caterwauling – please cease and desist.
Amazing you can still hold up your head
And claim you are a patriotic soul,
Ignoring civic duties while instead
You never miss your weekly night to bowl.
When apathy’s replaced by righteous ire,
Dear friend, it’s not so righteous, trust me here.
Democracy burns on a fun’ral pyre
If you won’t vote, yet cry into your beer.
O’ please reverse this pattern of neglect
To have some leaders whom we’d all respect.
The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
