A Somber Shade of Blue

Two years ago, a century had been undone,

but Progress had won, and the bow of the ship

was starting to face toward the sun.

And then Dayton nearly lost.
And Bachman somehow won.
And Oberstar is no longer around.
And Prop 19 was burned to the ground.
And Boehner is the new House Speaker.
And Murray nearly lost to Rossi.
And Feingold was kicked out.
And Sestak was overcome.
And Mike Lee and Marco Rubio and Rand Paul are drinking tea.
And The Senate is white.
And three pro-gay judges were voted no.
And Dudley took Kitzhaber.
And LePage took Cutler.
And Scott sank Sink.
And Bennett just pulled through.
And Kirk turned Obama’s seat red.
And in two years,

we'll face around again.
