The legend lives on from the election day on down
Of the heck of the 13 votes they say never were found
The pundits, they'd been watching, the outcome seemed secure
But it turned into a fiasco that they couldn't endure

The candidates were running, with promises so grand
But little did they know the chaos that was at hand
The votes started vanishing, disappearing in the night
Leaving the election results in quite a sorry plight

With just 13 votes missing, the count was thrown awry
The media went crazy, asking how and why
The candidates pointed fingers, blaming one another
But the truth of what happened, no one could uncover

Oh, the heck of the 13 votes, what really took place?
Did they get misplaced or vanish without a trace?
The people were bewildered, their faith in the system shook
As the heck of the 13 votes became a mystery they couldn't overlook

Years have gone by, but the tale still remains
Of the heck of the 13 votes and its lingering pains
It serves as a reminder, a cautionary tale to heed
That even in the voting booth, things can go awry indeed
