Heads are spinning.

Media heads are spinning.

This is going to be

so much fun.

II.

Right winging,

bitter clinging,

proud clingers

of

our guns,

our god,

and our religions,

and our Constitution.

III.

These are unifying values,

from big cities

and tiny towns,

from big mountain states

and The Big Apple.

IV.

You hard working Iowa families.

You farm families,

and teachers,

and teamsters,

and cops,

and cooks!

You rock ‘n’ rollers,

and holy rollers,

all of you who work so hard.

You full-time moms,

you with the hands that rock the cradle,

you all make the world go round.

And now our cause is one.

Fin.
