Loosely inspired by Colin Hay’s long-ago song “Looking For Jack”
media pundits looking for the next Barack
admiring Pete Buttigieg’s bomber jacket
waking up to read about Deval Patrick
some day, some way
the electorate will swoon like Chris Matthews
Democratic donors looking for the next Barack
someone cool, mostly unflappable
makes people rest easy after Trump
respects the markets and past trade deals
won’t raise the 1%’s taxes
some day, some way
a majority will find him excellent
and they’ll cheer him, boo obstruction
drink in his aspirational smile
again accept change only in increments
