the age old debate: slugging versus bat control: you choose

(there's no crying in baseball)

in Fargo country, where they don't mince words, but

at least it won't be a cruel Repugnican beatdown

is essentially what we settled for

some say Karma-la is worse than Billy Barr

and the two should hold a key-throwing-away contest

see who can jail a predatory lender creditor longer

a lotus on a swampy pond, ribbit

(some say, psst, she's obama in drag,

she arrested a Jew once, now let's see

how she does with AIPAC's muscle toughs)

probably it all ain't over until

Ted Cruz invites Trump to Dallas

carroted by a new Trump Tower on-the-knoll
