I Missed A Day. The Sunshine State is Dark, Apparently.

No picture. As I said, I missed a day.  Florida will not go easily to Newt, as Romney looks as if he won the debate, and Cain endorses Newt.  I should mention that this sonnet was finished in no more than nine minutes, as I was trying to catch up. Please be gracious.

I missed a day, but didn’t miss a lot.
Apparently the duel between the two –
The Romney and the Newt, and then the few
Remaining – isn’t much that isn’t got
On afternoon TV, or cable. Fights,
And bitter accusations, and applause,
And commentary, here applied as gauze
To all the missed replies, and lofty heights
Of verbal bloody beatdown was applied
To each the other. Per the audience,
Applauding, or appalled, in its defense,
Was saddened that the candidates had eyed
Each other, rather than Barack. Relax,
This is the process. To the ending, pax.
