                     THE CAUCUS

 

Once in every four years down in Iowa they say

A ghastly creature rears its head and all good Christians pray.

The creature is unholy and is surely meant to mock us.

They do not say its name out loud – but whisper it:

'The Caucus'.

 

Ravening the Caucus stalks from Sioux City to Dubuque

Giving old folks heart attacks and making children puke.

Stealth is not its calling card.  Its growls are very raucous.

It shows no mercy as it prowls – that salivating Caucus!

 

Gathering a helpless crowd in every town and precinct

It destroys all reason before any eye can be winked.

They've tried to put it down before but when the time is ripe

It comes back resurrected from the tons of media hype.

 

Our heartless nation watches as the Caucus grimly rambles

Across the fields of Iowa, leaving it a shambles.

When satisfied that anarchy in Iowa is damn sure

The fiend invades another state . . .

Probably New Hampshire.
