Newt's Pursuit

You don’t have to be astute To know the Red team won’t choose Newt. There are reasons several-fold – First of all, he just seems old. Though he may be very smart, He’s dumb in matters of the heart. Cheated on a loyal wife – “Open marriage?” – Get a life! Now he stands to make a speech With number 3 wife, like a leech, Always just an inch away, With her hair held down by spray. Newt, I hate to tell you, mistah, Next first mate won’t be Callista!
