The poet William Stafford set himself the task of writing a poem a day. When someone asked him what he would do when his poem-of-the-day wasn't very good, he replied "I simply lower my standards." In order to increase output, the bar here is set at a low level - the point of this is to have some fun with current events and politics. I welcome contributions and comments. Now you can also follow Doggerelo on Twitter (@doggerelo). Because of continuing medical problems, I'm no longer able to post a poem-a-day. I'll continue to post poems, but at a reduced frequency, so please stay tuned.

Gunning for Gingrich

The GOP's establishment intellectuals have launched an all-out assault on Newt Gingrich, in an effort to derail his candidacy.

They’re going all out to bring down Newt Gingrich,
To stop him before it’s too late
He’d be a walking disaster, they say,
About that there’s just no debate.
He’s unstable, crazy, reckless and vain,
And morally witless to boot.
As our leader, he’d be an embarrassment -
Even Romney’d be better than Newt.
