Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Purple Please

Chris Matthews talking to Joe Klein
About the trip of trav'lin Joe
Along a kind of red/blue line.
"Tell me something that I don't know."
So Joe says that the common folk
Want blue and red to compromise.
Purple for the people - no joke!
Or else D.C. - surprise! surprise!
Will get payback for all the jive.
The silent middle will laugh last,
And not at Saturday Night Live -
At D.C.'s cancelled current cast.

'Nuf already of politics,
Time for the red and blue to mix.
