There once was a fellow named Max

Who decided not to pay any tax

The IRS he would screw

Because he already knew

He could working for Goldman-Sachs

There once was a fellow named Mitt

Whose opinion was decidedly split

Many said he flip flopped

So he should be stopped

But for Mitt there was simply no quit

There once was a fellow named Newt

Whose campaign had plenty of loot

But critics said not so fast

In his congressional past

For his ethics he was given the boot

There once was a fellow named Obama

Who in tea party hearts induced trauma

But re-election seemed assured

When the media passed the word

Republicans can’t defeat their own drama

There once was a governor named Palin

Who loved to shoot wolves and go whalin’

But her presidential bid

Was undone by her kid

Where in some states, the father they’d be jailin’

There once was a man named Rick Perry

Whose debate skills for him were quite scary

When his mind would go blank

His opinion poles sank

Reminding us of Curly, Moe and Larry

There once was a fellow named Ron Paul

With little name recognition at all

Libertarian in his views

Most folks will refuse

To make him their choice in the fall

There once was a fellow named Santorum

Who emerged victor in Iowa’s Forum

But his conservative ways

Of hating liberals and gays

Raise questions of his political decorum

There once was a candidate named Herman

Whose manager looked very German

But that never mattered

His campaign was battered

By the women he treated like vermin
