"Newt Lays Into Mitt"
By Calvin Trillin, Deadline Poet

It’s “pious baloney.” Yes, pious baloney.
What Mitt speaks, Newt says, is remarkably phony:
His outsider citizen pose is all hooey;
He’s hungered for office like Thomas E. Dewey.
And what he was doing those years spent at Bain
Was not create jobs but cause working stiffs pain.
While Newt covers Mitt’s smooth exterior with blotches,
Obama’s campaign staff just carefully watches.
