On the PBS series "Zoom"
The kids have had their say
And encouraged viewers' parents
To cast votes on election day.

But on Tucker Carlson's new PBS show
He invoked some GOP voodoo
And disingenuously announced
Not voting's an OK thing to do.

This long-held Republican belief
Is one of their secret goals
Because they wind up winning
When less people go to the polls.

In this year's divisive race which
Neither candidate has sewn up
The lively boys and girls on "Zoom"
Make more sense than this grown up.
