And They're Off
Posted: August 21, 2011
The county fair campaigning has begun…
Back in Iowa they're running
and much like an old sack race,
they are clumsy and off-balance.
Each one falls flat on his face.
It's a dirty, bloody contest
as they scrap to take the lead
with the campaign soon approaching
and tea party-ers to heed.
Yes, the White House run is brutal
as the candidates well know.
County fairs aren't 4-H friendly
where they judge the "best-of-show."
It's an up-for-grabs beginning
and there're twelve more months to gauge
who'll survive and still be standing
having shown they've come of age.
