Mrs. W's McCain Memorial
Where's the reciprocity?

Mrs. Jeremiah Aloysius
    Withington III
,
Says, after what is left
    of J.A.'s been interred,
She plans a small memorial
    on the street where J.A. fell
Outside the building where they let her
    ring the closing bell.
It will be a prostrate likeness
    of the early John McCain,
Back in pre-Viagra days
    when John raised a little Cain.

But then John snagged his second wife
    who'd heard about J.A.,
A leading light at Goldman Sachs,
    who claimed he'd found a way
Of getting sub-prime mortgage loans
    for John McCain and wife,
Interest free with zero down
    if they would stay pro-life.

How many did they go for?
    Well, so many John lost count.
And when Goldman Sachs securitized them,
    J.A.'s bank account
Took off like John McCain does
    when a chick gives him the eye
And he has to do his duty:
    motherhood and apple pie.

Yet when Daisy had octuplets
    three times in a row,
John's missus at the time decided
    doggy had to go.
But when J.A.'s right-to-lifers learned
    John'd put his Daisy down,
The short sales on those mortgages?
    The biggest play in town!
Myriad foreclosures –
    J.A. jumped and took the blame,
While the statue in the street
    reminds McCain to do the same.
