Ode to Mittens
by Jean Ann Esselink
You pursued a cutthroat game plan,
In your brutal Primary fight.
Wherever your opponent stood,
You scurried to his right.
You thought youd shake the Etch- a-Sketch,
And start again anew.
And thats why were not inaugurating you.
When a soldier in Afghanistan,
Asked if you had your say,
Would you reinstate Dont Ask Dont Tell?
And told you he was gay.
You stood there without speaking,
When the crowd began to boo.
And thats why were not inaugurating you.
You didnt speak when Sandra Fluke,
Was called a slut by Rush.
You were silent when your party,
Tried to take our votes from us.
You said nothing when Todd Akin,
Claimed that not all rapes are true.
And thats why were not inaugurating you.
When asked if you would sign,
A womans Right to Choose away,
Youd answer women only cared,
How much was in their pay.
You made Ann your link to women,
When she never had a clue.
And thats why were not inaugurating you.
You embarrassed us in Europe,
Wherever you would go.
Anns horse made the Olympics,
But you didnt even show.
Youd have let Michigan go bankrupt,
From Detroit to Kalamazoo.
And thats why were not inaugurating you.
You thought, like you, that everyone,
Loved nothing more than money.
And shaving off a classmates hair,
Was your idea of funny.
You like your women bound in binders,
Unless theyre pregnant in a shoe.
And thats why were not inaugurating you.
You gave millions to the Mormons,
To Fund Proposition Eight.
You may have called that charity,
Gay couples call it hate.
You threatened to kill Big Bird,
And youre married to a shrew.
And thats why were not inaugurating you.
There are forty-seven percent of us,
For whom you had no care.
You claimed it wasnt our concern,
If you were taxed your share.
In your heart, you didnt love us,
And we didnt love you too.
And thats why were not inaugurating you.
Did you even read that poem? It denounces Romney because he didn’t stand up for Sandra Fluke and didn’t jump on the Akin is an Idiot bandwagon, says Ann Romney doesn’t have a clue and is a shrew, claims letting Detroit go bankrupt is a bad thing, makes an issue about “women in binders”, denounces him for supporting Prop. 8 which upheld traditional marriage, denounces him for declaring that PBS doesn’t need out tax money, and bemoans that he hates 47% of the electorate.
A liberal wrote this and you are using it to support your contention that Romney is the anti-Christ?
