Miracles are Cheap

Obama needs a miracle; the polls
Have indicated so, the very space
Between Barack and Romney in the race
For presidential office, and the souls
Of all the true Americans, is all
But finished and decided.  There’s a gap
That’s five and some-odd polling points, a wrap
If any has existed.  Any small
But still existing lead is quite enough
To call it for the lead, assuming he
Is member of the party we would be
Too happy in promoting, ere the rough
And tumble of reality attacks,
Reminding us we’d better watch our backs.
