The President Invites Romney To Lunch At the White House

The President Invites Romney to Lunch

By Elton Camp

His rival to the White House he’s invited
It’s unlikely either one is really excited

There is a whole lot of public doubt 
As to what the two men will talk about

But most observers have a hunch
It’ll be quite an awkward lunch

“Hello, Mitt, welcome to the White House
I’m sorry I had to call you a lying louse”

“Likewise, Mr. President I had to say
That the economy you would betray”

“Before we eat, let me give you a tour
For you’ll never live here for sure”

“I did try to make you unemployed
Out of a job that you really enjoyed”

“I know you don’t want coffee or tea,
So water & serving of crow it will be”

Jack, thanks for reading. I tried to depict them as being sort of nasty-nice to each other. The lunch was in progress when I wrote this. It's over now, but I doubt we'll ever know any details. Elton
