The Democrats both are a pain
And the only man worse is McCain.
. A pox on them all!
. I am voting Ron Paul,
The only one in with a brain.

The fact of the matter is plain:
It isn’t Ron Paul who’s insane,
. But those masters of spin
. Who believe they can win
With "More Wars, Fewer Jobs, and McCain!"

Ron Paul: Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Dark Horse

Written by Irene Wagner
Published February 07, 2008
Viva la rEVOLution, y'all! (Apologies to Wallace Stevens.)


I

With twenty seconds left
In last Sunday's Super Bowl,
I decided I was a Giants fan.

II

You were of three minds,
And only three,
McCain and Mitt and Huckabee.

III
Grassroots growing in aught-eight's autumn winds.
The Dark Horse has no part in scripted pantomimes.

IV
A man and a woman
Are one.
A man and a woman and the Federal Government
Is a really bad idea.

V
I do not know which to prefer:
Absence of HRC's hysterics
When crap hits national fan,
Or absence of the GOP's
Pre-anointed man.

VI
Peeking through 'net windows at
Super Tuesday, almost past.
Shadows cast by Revolution,
Now shortening, now lengthening.
The mood
Remains fierce loyalty
To not entirely quixotic cause.

VII

Oh Nine Eleven Truthers,
Why do you fear the Bilderbergs?
Do you not know I played Bunco
With Rockefeller's second cousin once?
She seemed Okay.

VIII

I know Wallace Stevens
Wrote these "lucid, inescapable rhythms,"
Paid rent with his insurance company salary.
Dr. Paul'd be cool with that,
So long as it was not an HMO.

IX
Will the Dark Horse ride out of sight?
He still has an edge
In many voters' circles.

X

At the sight of the Dark Horse
Basking in the limelight
Would the bawds of journalistic perfidy
(FOX and Time and ABC)
Keep it a secret?

XI
His old nemesis today in Connecticut
--Where bedroom towns are left each day for jobs in NYC--
Months ago, fearless Dark Horse
Gave him what-for in a debate
About 911, the war--
--And a reading list, too.

XII

His lips are moving.
A certain Dark Horse opponent must be lying.

XIII
The news outlets say, "No" to Dr. No this afternoon.
They'll be continuing to do so.
I'll bet you didn't know
In Maine,
Paul came in second before McCain.
