From Denise McNamara:

Gerrymandering is just such fun,
Never mind there is work to be done.

Lines should be drawn that are logical, fair,
How about districts that resemble a square?

Letting the lawmakers draw their own lines,
Leads to shenanigans and tricks of all kinds.

All of the parties will never agree,
Please set a primary date ASAP.

A haiku entitled “A Staffer and a Map” by Scott Tyler:

Colored pencils dance,
Bruce keeps us informed swift,
I am haunted by the maps.

From Anonymous:

Roses are red, Texas is turning blue,
Can’t be stopped
Despite the bad maps you drew.
