Politics is mostly entertainment
About the push and pull for a piece of pie that shrinks when the GOP wins
The debates were cast as entertainment
At first the object was to rid the stage of all who made this too obvious
Sic transit Bachmann, Perry, Huntsman, Cain
By now the piece of putative pie had been shrunk so much that
Were the nostrums of the survivors heeded
The nation would descend into a depression that would make
The Thirties look like a walk in the park
In short extended absurdity was not that entertaining after a while
