Angels are in the Details

Don’t think of sacking Big Bird, Mitt,
By getting rid of PBS.
He teaches math, which should befit
A candidate whose own’s a mess
And needs help with arithmetic
Unless, forbid, you’re trying to trick.

It’s hard for me to think you’re not.
Nonpartisan economists
Proclaim your budget numbers rot
In how to deal with deficits.
Your tax cut in a decade’s time
Would see them by $5 trillion climb.

You’d cancel taxes on estates
Enriching further friends of yours.
A nosy media awaits
Response regarding what obscures
Which loopholes that you’ve said you’d close
So income equals what outgoes.

But even if you closed them all
The generated revenue
Would not for average folks forestall
A nasty hike in taxes due.
Such aims abruptly you deny?
The Bird says also not to lie.
