Ann Romney's Blouse

Mitt Romney’s wife was criticized (Though she was not defensive) Because she chose to wear a blouse Considered quite expensive. She wore it on a TV show So she would look her best, But journalists decided that She’d failed the litmus test. All those who like to criticize Were ready with their clucks, Delighted to reveal that blouse Surpassed nine hundred bucks! Though prices through the stratosphere I cannot comprehend, I wonder why reporters care What politicians spend. John Edwards’ haircut, Palin’s suits And now Ann Romney’s blouse, Provide the ammunition so The columnists can grouse. Such splurges prove to all of us Those folks are out of touch. They have no clue that most of us Would never spend so much. Yet still, I find it strange these facts Are told with fevered pitch; Beware of candidates like these – They’re not like us – they’re rich!
