MASON CITY, IA - DECEMBER 29: Former Massachusetts Governor and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney stands in a chair as campaign staff member Garrett Jackson holds it steady during a campaign event at Music Man Square December 29, 2011 in Mason City, Iowa. Recent state-wide polls put Romney and fellow candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) close going into next week's first-in-the-country Iowa Caucuses, a litmus test for the GOP hopefuls.

Day after day, alone on the stool
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly cool
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
As he never gives an answer

Unpaid campaign staffer willing to get his pants dirty and serve as a piece of furniture to the GOP's millionaire, legacy, eternal also-ran to help him look like an "everyman" populist in exchange for a resume filler - priceless.
