Caucus in Circus Producing Chaos
was in a caucus
part of a three ring circus
becoming chaos
Mr. Pete Buttigieg
lost his edge
His early bird victory
turned to fledge
Outside convenes a caucus of noisy crows,
through my window I observe their convention,
an impressive display but no one really knows
their chaotic cacophonic intention.
Landing on the lawn, and taking to the trees
Seemingly argumentative and yelling.
A skitterry squirrel takes note and flees,
taking refuge in his knothole dwelling.
The clamorous cawing is strangely staccato,
Shattering the prior, peaceful dawn.
All at once in a flash of feathers, they all go,
To implement their plans, they must move on.

Caucus Over
©2012 C. Brent Cloyd
Romney claims he is most electable
Results conclude that is debatable.
Bachman stood firm on defense and health care law
Discovered her support was filled with straw.
Santorum touched palms, wore out shoes and truck
Had clear narrative, timing and good luck.
Perry soared, forgot, “oops,” and millions spent
Said thanks, boarded plane, back to Texas went.
Paul hates the Fed and loves the constitution
Deplores war, and young folks like his solution.
Gingrich defied odds, then truth made him sag
He moves on with hope, yet carries his bags.
Just like a loser
Always whining about loss
Next time... democrats
