With today's Election Day excitement, I thought it was worth digging out this poem from Mr Nash that he wrote about the General Election in 1959 which was held on 8 October, and won by the Conservatives led by Harold Macmillan. His poems to Marianne weren't all declaring undying love, it seems!
Election Day
This is the day when silly men
Their microscopic fancies view,
Make their cross and hang themselves
For worlds they never knew.
This is the day when all wise men
Look to their past and future too,
Putting their trust in God alone
While politicians stew!
