Buzz Ballad: The Cash of Romney

—apologies to “The Bells of Rhymney” by Pete Seeger

I should be the nominee,
Says the cash of Romney.
Stick a fork in, I’m done,
Trails poor Rick Santorum.
There should be no Fed at all,
Perennially shrills Ron Paul,
And who knows me? No-one,
Mourns the campaign of Johnson.

Why am I an also-ran?
Wonders clueless Bachmann.
Under my tax plan we’ll gain,
Still insists Herman Cain.
Of me do not be chary,
Pleads the stumbling Rick Perry
And I should be the nominee,
Says the cash of Romney.

I’m just the spare Mormon,
Says the bland Jon Huntsman.
My experience I’ll tout,
Self-promotes Speaker Newt.
The choices do not please me,
Grumbles the Tea Party,
And I should be the nominee,
Says the cash of Romney.
