Ballad of a Super Tuesday Sultry Seniors Voters Quandary

The following poem was inspired by a real-life incident, and is not intended to generalize or stereotype anyone or any group of persons. I just found the inspiring individuals humorous and rather cute in their dialogue!
Ballad of a Super Tuesday Sultry Seniors Voters Quandary
Today was the primary
so I went out to vote
and onto the ballot
my choice did get wrote.
But while I was standing
in line to get out
a crisply dressed senior
conversed with her friend in a shout,
“Who you voting for
this year, my old friend?
To send to the White House
when Obama’s Presidency ends?”
Her friend mused a moment
and licked her rouged lips
and pushed up her girdle
that had started to slip.
“Well, Romney is plastic
and Santorum’s too young, though he’s cute
but you can trust I'll vote nothing
for that chubby vain Newt!”
“Ah,” said her companion,
“Santorum's such a choir boy
and I can’t go for Romney,
His muscles look steroid,
I can’t go for Gingrich,
for just as you said,
he’s blustery and chubby
and looks like my Ex, Fred.”
As I neared closer the door
these two nodded and agreed,
that neither of their votes
would go for one of these three.
Then the first one said-
her words were not minced-
“There’s only one thing
we can do with good sense.”
“I should have realized, too,”
admitted the other,
“that fine faces and hard abs
just aren’t worth our bother!”
The first one tut-utted
and admitted right then,
“We should vote with conscience
not be shallow, my friend.”
Just before I parted
and stepped through the door,
I heard their self-reproaches,
in sighs that did pour.
Then the two both nodded
at a conclusion now found
and I heard them both exclaim
with enthusiasm unbound,
“For Ron Paul, then,
our sage votes must be cast
for he may be wrinkled like us,
but damn, he's sure got a sweet ass!”

Hey, Beth,
If I were a prominent radio/TV political pundit, I would retain you to write and put together much of my "material."
You are an excellent talent, my friend.
