Political poetry

Walking around downtown Hillsborough last night, my partner and I came across this flyer on a public bulletin board:

A mayor who's a realtor
Has a cloud in his vision:
When he looks at his town
He must see a commision.
Three cups of Joe
Just might lead to a wreck
A tall, cool Tom Something
Is a REALTY check

I'm not sure if poetry is an effective political vehicle in this case, and the accusation is a little shallow, but it certainly is different. You would think after someone being the mayor for two terms you'd have more to complain about than his profession.

Based on neighborhood yard signs, Tom Stevens definitely seems more popular than Joe Phelps in the downtown historic district. Not surprising since Tom lives there.
