The Small Political Party before an Election

An election is looming, and all are agreed,
With few party members there's now a great need
For everyone present to knock on some doors,
For that's still the best way, despite all its flaws
To find our supporters, and urge them to vote;
With money so short, we are barely afloat.
We cannot afford to spend thousands of pounds,
Producing nice leaflets, to take on our rounds,
But have to rely on the chat at the door,
Especially with those who've not backed us before.
As we go down the streets we'll be hoping the reach
"Undecideds" who'll like all the  things that we preach
And maybe decide that the time has now come
To take a step forward and follow our drum.
We're happy to show the other side of the coin,
For we're always looking for people to join
And bring about change in an orderly way,
By voting for us when there comes polling day.
We need to work hard, if we're hope to ensure
The voters aren't blinded by all the allure
Of much larger parties, with money to spend;
But think for themselves, and then in the end
Throw past attachments and habits aside
And vote for the policies that will provide
A life that is better and fairer for all;
We realise for us this will be a long haul,
But we look to the future, and hope that we'll win,
With our candidate being the one who gets in.
