The Candidates

If you’re voting for Santorum
We really must address
Those sweaters – why he wore ‘em
Is anybody’s guess

If voting for a Newt
Remember what he’s been
A D.C. political suit
Do we want him there again

A vote for Texas Perry
Is a right-wing conservative vote
But think now and be wary
Of the book that he once wrote

If you’re voting for this fellow Mitt
The front-runner as of now
Take a breath and sleep on it
He might kill your sacred cow

If you don’t care where we’re going
Or where we just have been
Obama’s weaknesses now are showing
Can you really vote for him

I know that my views
Don’t matter at all
You’ll choose who you choose
For I know it’s your call
