Part two in my poetry challenge. This one took about 36 minutes. Not great stuff, but it’s usable: 

The race for the White House was laced with ill humor
As we choked on the bile of every fresh rumor.
Obama’s religion, his birthplace, his pastor –
Every new email brought hints of disaster.

And who would decide the election’s big winner?
Maybe Florida’s Jews — over early bird dinner?
Or would we all board McCain’s Straight Talk Flotilla,
And sail on with him and the gov from Wasilla?

At last came November, and we voted like mad
And most Jews admitted, Barack ain’t so bad.
And as if to thank us for ignoring the spam,
He offered us Hillary, Kurtzer and Rahm.

So last year’s poem was about 500 words. I’m already up to about 300 words, and I’ve been at it a total of 64 minutes.

I’m pretty sure this is how Milton worked.
