an ode to Elliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner

ELLIOT AND ANTHONY HUSTLED ABOUT 
TRYING TO ATONE FOR THEIR SINS
TRIED TO DISPEL ALL VOTER DOUBT
THAT THEY WERE JUST HAS-BEENS

THESE TAWDRY GUYS AIMED TO ASSURE  
THEIR FITNESS TO GOVERN AGAIN
THEY SAID, "OH, NOW WE'RE REALLY PURE,
WE'RE NOW SUCH VIRTUOUS MEN"

"PLEASE DON'T JUDGE US BY OUR PAST
FORGET THAT WE WERE SEX MANIACS
OUR MORALS NOW ARE UNSURPASSED
TODAY WE'RE STRICTLY BRAINIACS"

WEINER'S TUCKED HIS WEINER AWAY
SPITZER'S SPLIT FROM HIS PROSTITUTES
DON'T DARE TO USE THE WORD "REUE"
THEY'RE PARAGONS NOW OF PIOUS REPUTE

FOR US, THE VOTERS, IT LEAVES US PERPLEXED
HOW SHALL WE PICK FROM THE CANDIDATE CROPS?
SHOULD WE CARE IF THEY'RE OVER-SEXED
OR CONSIDER ONLY THEIR POLITICAL CHOPS?
