Let’s put school kids in janitor’s shoes
And start ‘em out young cleaning loos
We must now make haste
For the future they’ll face
(I’m just looking at all avenues)
How can anyone say I am hateful?
It’s a well-paying job just be grateful
Hey – now pizza’s a veg
You can have a nice wedge
And hot dogs and beans by the plateful
But Callista and I must have foie
Or else we feel terribly blah
But you have your Cheetos
Beef jerky, Doritos
You say you’re in need? I say ha!
He’s a man aptly named is our Newt
He’s the Lizard of Ooze in a suit
He’s the grinch who steals yule
A smooth talking ghoul
A well heeled world-class prostitute
Damn I hope Goongrich’ll run
For shark-like comedians he’s chum
A foot in the mouth pest
More baggage than Southwest
Hey, Nit, take the money and run
P.S.
I’m a corporate hobbyist
I was Freddy Mac’s “historian”
You don’t need to be worryin’
That 600 thou
Was for telling them how
To make loans free of strife

Barking In The Dark 
I’m still shocked that this guy is getting even the slightest bit of support for his run for the oval office. Thanks for putting into such fine words what so many of us think of this guy. I think the Huffington Post should give you your own column 🙂
