Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Play to Win

Michael Vick gets a second chance
Playing football which he does well,
Like playing politics - a dance
To win the big game - what the hell!
Barack Obama uses Vick
To show Obama's feely side,
Betting that this compassion schtick
Will help the two thousand twelve ride.
Of course ex cons don't have much clout
But comeback star pro athletes do.
Obama's hoping Vick stays out
Of trouble till term number two.

Obama likes Vick's comeback, though
Vick will get nowhere near Bo.
