A-Rod news slides to

Third base. Madge madness, ‘roid rage,

A hip issue, too.

Deficits blossom,
a tree of debtors’ flowers
with no future seeds.

Shrub unites us all
Could never ever divide
Division too hard.

I own senate and
house of reprehensibles
how? strategery!

If all you have is
ignorance and confidence,
then success is sure.

If films fail, we know
not to see the sequel. Why
not so with leaders?
