Romney v Obama

As I look at the two men

It sets me a thinking,

One’s a red herrin’

And the other a chicken

Neither in any case

Is palatable to me

Both repulsive to my taste

Not even for a fee.

And if I was forced to choose

At the point of a gun

I would turn up my nose

And then, brother, I’d run.

I am a conservative

But with a heart for the poor

Am opposed to the accumulative

Meaning, I want more, on more.

Obama is a Democrat,

Their policies I decry,

Gay marriages and all that

That’s my main reason why.

But Romney is the figure

Of capitalism gone mad

The rich getting richer,

The poor worker? Too bad.

So it’s a choice of the Devil,

Or of the deep blue sea.

And I say on the level

That’s no choice for me.
