A musing about Roy Blunt

Once upon a time
Republicans had no doubt

They said a person's character
Was what it's all about

Character used to matter
If a man was true to his wife

How seriously he took his vows
Was reflected in his whole life

But now they sing a new tune
Character matters not at all

Integrity's not an issue
In the elections held this Fall

And to lie about another
Used to be a serious sin

But apparently it's now okay
If you call your lies "spin"

Now my GOP friends
Tell me with a nod and wink

Blunt has "maybe" seen the light
And have used a lot of ink

To say the way to change DC
Is to send someone who's been

There for the past fourteen years
And much to my chagrin

They say if elected
Robin will start to be

The kind of person Blunt was
While living in DC

And my GOP friends say
Miraculously Blunt will also change

Into something he never was
I find their thinking kind of strange.

Pardon if I'm skeptical
'Cause I think Blunt is only saying

What he thinks he must
So the tax-payers keep on paying

For Blunt to keep on doing
What he's always done

Saying whatever to get elected
Then back to having his fun

But does anyone really think
Blunt's top priority is now our Nation

Rather than to serve the ones
Who give him a donation?
