NEWT STEPS

by Bill Costley


Newt steps into a revolving door &
spins it expertly-R. “I’m in!” He’s in
when he’s not abutting Santorum,
but he always R-abuts Romney. He
bats R, swings L, catches L/R, like
Ron Paul. He’s a switch-hitter. He
has no directional shame. He goes
where Opportunity presents Itself:
to the Moon, talking dreamily. His
3rd wife joins him, a chilly moonlilly.


Bill Costley has served on the Steering Committee of the San Francisco Bay area chapter of the National Writers Union. He lives in Santa Clara, CA. The latest volume ( Number Eleven)  of Costley's  New Verse News epic The Chen@id can be accessed by clicking here.
