Vote For Me!

“Now, Jim’s gone...” (she shouts above the Singer Sewing Machine) “...I get out more.” “I’m going to vote tonight! ” “For years under Jim I always voted Conservative...‘cos...he did. Read what he read...did what he did. Didn’t have a mind of my own. Now, I’m going to vote...” “Liberal? ” I interject. “No, dear...the Green Party. I love the colour.” I laugh. She laughs too. “I’ve learnt to laugh again! ” “It’s like I’m a girl again! ” “Don’t get me wrong! I still miss the old bugger but I’m glad to be me again after all these years And I still leave (every week without fail) a single red rose on his grave! ”
