The GOP Field, in rhyme:
First there was Romney
(The obvious nom’nee)
But conservative folks
Believed him too sane.
So then came Bachmann
(She seemed a lock, man)
But, no, soon came Perry
And then Herman Cain.
The first proved a loony
The second, cartoony
The third couldn’t master
Control of his schlong.
Now Newt’s emerging
(His poll numbers surging!)
But Newt, he’s got “baggage” --
This douche wont last long.
Ron Paul is a-screechin’
And rantin’ and preachin’ --
Let’s make heroin legal!
(There goes the ballgame.)
While poor old Santorum
Can’t muster a quorum
At a meeting of people
Who’ve not Googled his name.
In the end there is Romney
(The obvious nom’nee)
Who will run for the White House
But won’t have a chance.
Though he is not loony,
Oversexed or cartoony,
Folks will not forgive him
Those weird underpants.
