“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Anudder Mispent Yute!
There was an Old Lady whose folly
Induced her to sit in a holly:
Whereupon by a thorn
Her dress being torn,
She quickly became melancholy.
A fat fatuous pollster, Frank Luntz, Whose thick-wittedness ceaselessly blunts His party's best goals –– Brings us nearer the shoals. Now ain't that the dumbest of stunts?
The whole punditocracy protects the status quo Established order. They are not the instruments (or judges) of change, alhthough THAT is precisely the "role" that for all appearances, they give themselves.
A mischievous fellow named Brian Not noted for simperin' nor sighin' Thinks the world's run by Bosses Who promote our great losses, And to that I can't say that he's lyin.'
Said the Hag as Slick Willie withdrew, "My dear sir, I'm afraid this won't do, For Obama adds drama, Is calmer and warmer And, longer and stronger than you!"
