Wishing Well Poem

 

Be a part of my Wishing Well for the things that I desire.

I am running for ________________ and have much to acquire.

 

   I’ve got wondrous goals and the willingness to serve.

All for the good of this community, in what I believe it deserves.

 

Buttons, banners and ads are necessary.

And, with your help, how it would be complimentary!

 

So, drop a bit in my “Wishing Well”

Any amount will do.

 

As you drop the envelope down inside—make a wish for you.

And Know that I stand tall with pride, your faithful, public servant true.

 

Thank you,
