(For Peter Welch and Peter Shumlin)

…a Republican, a serial killer,

a pedophile, a nuclear war

a Dem is better than your neighbor’s kid

who is off in Afghanistan

and who will be dead

before the ballots get there

a Dem is better than

a Nazi, a rabid dog, a hurricane,

a gay-basher, a fundamentalist Christian,

a batterer, a Wall St. CEO,

and the lying smarmy dildo dipshit

asshole who turned your daughter

into a zombie

a Dem is better than a dogturd

consider the alternatives

not to mention the Dem will

invite you to a dinner-forum

a serial killer would never do that

yes this is democracy

a Dem is better than celibacy (hmmm?)

so nice to have choices
