Bush & Company

Mr. McCain, you're in a spot---
To cozy up to Bush or not---
Although unwise to seem the same
As one with such a tainted name,

You still need every Bush supporter,
The sooner the better, time's growing shorter;
And who should be your running mate,
Someone to swing a crucial state?

I bet you'd almost rather quit
Than partner with the hated Mitt;
Almost, not quite, and Mitt would do it;
All things considered, you might do it.

Iraq, Iran, oil versus green,
The Left, the Right and in between;
It's tricky pleasing everyone;
The truth is, it just can't be done.

Yes, it's becoming painfully plain---
Your turnabouts may be in vain.
Yes, you've devised a tough campaign---
Rough days ahead, Senator McCain.
