Romney Loses To the President

Romney Loses to the President

By Elton Camp

Six years to be president he waited
The outcome he understandably hated

He said whatever people wanted to hear
And sought every chance to bend their ear

“That skunk who’s in there now is no good
So to elect me as president is what you should”

“It’s true that I am a fellow who’s filthy rich
But I still have concern for those in the ditch”

“Yes, it’s a low rate of income tax I pay
But it’s legal and ought to stay that way”

“No, you can’t see my income tax return
To see what I give and how much I earn”

“Okay, in foreign banks I keep my dough,
But that’s nobody else’s business, though

“While that yellow Big Bird I like okay,
He’s a needless expense that must go away”

“You’ll wish you didn’t re-elect that slob
When he can’t help you to get a job”

Romney may not be as ungracious as this
But he’s bound to be miffed at his miss

Good morning. Thanks for reading. I wrote two poems yesterday, one for Obama wins and one for Romney wins. As soon as CNN made the call, I posted the correct one. I just wanted to be "first" to put out a poem on the results. Elton
