"What, me worry? I'm saved."
Here's my New Year's OpEdNews gift, a light jingle
for those normally put off by reason in rhyme. Try it, you might like it.
Should
old acquaintance be forgot,
And never
brought to mind?
Should
this self-adoring crackpot,
Not by satire be enshrined?
--------------
We've
fallen hard, to grisly bottom,
Underneath
Perry, Bachmann, Cain --
Halfwit
hayseeds spewing hokum --
Now worse
-- a cynical pimp urbane.
--------------
Yes, next
to Romney, stilted, wary,
Newt's a
churning "idea machine;"
Playing
bombastic clown contrary,
He taints
"debate" with gab obscene.
---------------
Newt
dismisses his crimes in arrears,
Touts the
"historian," Tiffany-rich;
Yet
reprisal for his career of smears
Explodes as victims openly snitch.
---------------
Newt
dumped both used-up wives,
Twin
"family values" disgrace;
Yet full
absolution he contrives,
Self-pardoned
by self-appointed grace.
---------------
Driving this facile self-deception
Conversion
to the Roman church:
What
better feeds self-genuflection
Than "St. Newt," risen, un-besmirched?
----------------
In his
mind a legend, past and present,
Wielding
God's infallible sword,
Newt's
hubris locks on transcendence
Just fit
his throne near the Lord.
-----------------
Join his holier-than-thou campaign,
The
sinner with self-expiated sin,
Redemption
past the material plane,
In case
Jesus needs a stand-in twin.
