clowning

as Jeb pulls out, Santorum spreads a stain
on all the clowns packed in that tiny car
it's still contentious who's in line to gain
intellectually, they're all sub-par
next to that putz, a zombie would look good
but Bernie brings an independent zeal
this Fall's election's a tough neighborhood
where voters want less "snarky" and more "real"
'though gerrymandering will hold the House
contested Senate seats are poised to flip
this elephant's as fearsome as a mouse
the party nation-wide has lost its grip
by any standard that we've ever had
this GOP convention's pretty sad
