Dirty Clint

We now know Mitt in private life
Has been a lovey-dovey dad
And there when needed for his wife
And grandkids more than most have had
And fervent member of his church.
He’d never leave you in the lurch.

But wellness givers’ treasure chests.

Matthew 25:31-46

As Gulf storm Isaac northward veers
Toward flood-prone shores of Tampa Bay
And GOP conventioneers,
They might think twice when time to pray
For death to programs deemed a threat

That traded prudery for zest.

As green cards for tomorrow’s Yanks.
Those issued, though, this summer should
Prompt young undocumenteds’ thanks.
If here since kids, they’re free to roam
For two years as though right at home.
