Petroleum Sunset

The Olympics are gone
Long live the Conventions
Obama does well with the technical routines
Let’s just hope he nails the dismount
I’m sure the commentators
Will be just as snarky as Costas
Meanwhile the campaigns
Are still willing to take your gold medals
During this critical time
And I’m sure the media
Will get lots of sympathy shots
Of the old favorites, the Clintons
Edged out by the young newcomer
The cameras love tragedy
As much as they love victory
