The electoral blowout was bloated:
Out of 10, short of 4 even voted;
The conservative coup,
Winning more of those few,
Is a mandate that should be footnoted.
* * *
Though Democrats may be in shock
As Republicans punch back the clock,
They won't be to blame
For the tax-cutting game
That puts us more deeply in hock.
* * *
For 3 cents for years you could pass
A letter from Calif. to Mass.;
Now 29's gone
And it's 3 you add on
For service they still call First Class.
* * *
Though talk saying so is excessive
That liberals now are regressive,
They'll always be what
Newt's Contract is not ----
Incurably, praise be, progressive.
* * *
Listen up, Democrats, it is I
Whose Newtspeak keeps telling you why
You never can be
Like Republican me,
A "normal American" guy.
