Sonnet to Republicans Who Would Be President

Yon candidate list grows wider each morn,
As Republicans pronounce their intention.
Ambitious, each strives to be recognized,
And named winner at next year's Convention.

Now arrayed in bold campaign armor,
Those warriors of approaching drama,
Will go forth into political battle,
To unseat the formidable Obama.

There's Palin, Barbour and Bloomberg,
Gingrich, Jindal and Huckabee,
Bachmann, Brown, Bolton and Cain,
Bush, Paul, Crist, Mitt and Christie.

The listing ends with a mighty thump,
Inscribing ye name of Donald Trump.
