The Republican debate -- no reason, but a reason to rhyme.

Ten lil’ Republicans standing in line.

Trump is the front runner, then there were nine;

Nine lil’ Republicans trying to be great.

Bush has a legacy, then there were eight;

Eight lil’ Republicans seeking PAC heaven.

Walker knows Koch brothers, then there were seven.

Seven lil’ Republicans needing some tricks.

Huckabee has none, then there were six.

Six lil’ Republicans desperate to thrive.

Carson lauds Donald, then there were five;

Five lil Republicans, debate points to score.

Cruz won…in college, then there were four;

Four lil’ Republicans, ‘Hey, look at me!’

That’s Marco Rubio, then there were three;

Three lil’ Republicans can't cause a stew.

Not even Rand Paul, then were two;

Two lil’ Republicans, their dreams now undone.

Christie, for certain, then there was one;

One lil’ Republican with brains and aplomb.

Poor ole John Kasich, his chances are none.
