Poetry Break: Do-Over

The Prez is out to Run Again

In 2012

For Hope and Change

(but we hope not the Mayan world-ending kind of change ...)

We praise his choice but fear it too,

since we are having some trouble with trust.

Will Obama version 2 be continuation and completion,

Do-Over, or Bust?

And if the Tweets, Pokes, Likes, and Viral Vids don't carry the day;

If Mr Obama must go away

We will miss his genial grin and earnest look;

His thoughtful mind; his open (check)book

We will miss his naive belief that change can be willed,

or if not, then bought and later billed

Will Obama version 2 be continuation and completion,

Do-Over, or Bust? (It seems a choice between dirt and dust)

Can Republicans do any better?

Not if they drink Tea at their Party

Are there Democratic competitors who may arise?

No, none visible (yet) to human eyes

So I guess we must hope to see

A Re-Do, Done Completely

Go, Go, Mr Obama, version 2

We may be tired, depressed and more than a bit disappointed, but we'll (probably) still vote for You.
