The Deep Bench
Republicans were jubilant
After 2010.
Their future rested in the hands
Of formidable men.
Kasich in the Midwest.
Jindal in the South.
Perry in the Southwest.
Christie’s boundless mouth.
Where did they all go, you ask.
Trump and Carson rule.
The GOP establishment
Is looking like a fool.
Sometimes it’s the message
But sometimes it’s the talker.
Sometimes the star you thought you had
Turns out to be Scott Walker.
