That's a cracking sonnet.
Biting satire.
An unusual rhyme scheme which works.

I call on all of my friends here -- Go after this great evil! As opposed to the lesser evil.

Best,

Ed

Go, Ed! Nicely sonnetized jabs at Mitt.

I'm in England at the moment where our Mitt is getting a few laughs for his gaffes.

Mind you, I suspect having the Brits laugh at you does not lose you too many votes...

Very nicely done, Ed.

Fabulous, Ed!
I'd like to print some flyers of this poem and send them to all my neighbors in redneck NW FL.
