If someone randomly came up to you with a gun and said "Vote." and gave you a ballad, who would you vote for? Kerry or Bush?
Why would someone need to point a gun at me, everyone should vote as it is, I mean it ruins the point of democracy when people don't vote. But anyways I'd go for Bush.
bal·lad n. <LI type=a>A narrative poem, often of folk origin and intended to be sung, consisting of simple stanzas and usually having a refrain. The music for such a poem. A popular song especially of a romantic or sentimental nature Uh, some dude has a gun and is reciting poetry? Chances are he's not gonna shoot...probably a Nader supporter on some gun control kick.
Ballad. Heh heh. Maybe the gunman can sing that groovy tune from the 60s: "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind?" Or that hit tune by the Ames Brothers back in the 50s, "You're Undecided Now."
