"The Search" by Calvin Trillin, Deadline Poet

"The far right looked for someone who’d befit
The ticket—that is, someone not named Mitt
But someone who could strongly lead the nation
Without the faintest whiff of moderation.
Chris Christie thought about it, then said nyet, 
And Bachmann was the quickest flopper yet.
It looked like Perry was the right’s white hope,
But now they’re saying Perry’s just a dope.
So who will they convince now to get in?
The time is short. Their bench is looking thin."

"CEO" by Calvin Trillin, Deadline Poet

"One job’s a job I never would forgo.
That job, of course, is being CEO.
According to the customs now prevailing,
It pays a lot—and pays you more for failing.
It must be nice to have a job wherein
You cannot lose, for if you lose you win."

"Honest and true,
As the morning star.
Vote for just two,
Ament and Lamar."
