Romnecian Omission

Romney Romney Romney
you were there
you were there
on the TV
facing Obama

Republicans were
none too excited
but obligated

trying desperately
to make you stand out
and blend in

Democrats were
terrified of this
old white guy
with the religion
That Must Not Be Named

(the further left
was occupied
this time behind
their own walls
sobbing)

November 6th
came and went

Obama won
with room to spare

then suddenly Romney
you were not anywhere
anywhere

but
next month you'll be
at the Conservative Political Action Conference
you say

okay

wait
where?
