To play the role of President Mitt fit:
His jaw is square. No wives have ever split.
His mug’s unblemished by the smallest zit.
On looks alone a jury would acquit.
But Mitt’s campaign was not seen as a hit.
On every poll he lagged by quite a bit.
Then donor forms all candidates submit
Revealed a bunch of money went to Mitt.
(Which means each donor holds from Mitt a chit)
So Mitt as candidate is now legit.
The pundits now aren’t writing Mitt’s obit.
If one thing counts, they think, then money’s it.
