It's not everday that a 92 year-old WWII veteran and former North Dakota District Judge becomes a YouTube sensation and goes viral but that's what's happened to Ralph Maxwell thanks to his stand-up performance of his poem that he admits is "sort of derogatory of the republican candidate for President, Mitt Romney" (and that's an understatement).

Oh Romney-o, Romney-o
[02:29] Wherefore art thou, Mitt Romney?
[02:33] You flip-flop here, flip flop there,
[02:37] You flip-flop almost everywhere.
[02:41] You ballyhoo what you're going to do, and then you pull a switcheroo!
[02:46] You know my line, which you once found fine. Seems like you've got a jellyfish spine.
[02:54] Obama care, by you, begun;
[02:57] now you'd trash it on day one.
[03:01] Gun control, you did extoll, but now you're preaching de-control!
[03:08] Oh Romney, oh Romney-o.
[03:11] Wherefore art thou, Mitt Romney?
[03:14] We've got no clue what you will do,
[03:17] or what new view you'll pander to.
[03:21] Time once, you championed women's choice, but you no longer heed their voice.
[03:27] On gay rights too, guess you withdrew. Support, they once enjoyed from you.
[03:36] Global Warming, EPA, Immigration, Minimum Pay --
[03:43] Roe v. Wade, also, Fair Trade; all joined your flip-flop cavalcade.
[03:52] Oh Romney-o, Romney-o.
[03:56] Wherefore art thou, Mitt Romney?
[04:00] So many things that you were for, you've turned against, and slammed the door.
[04:07] Stimulus, Cap and Trade, Education, Foreign Aid.
[04:14] Campaign Reform, TARP Rescues too, all victims of your switcheroo.
[04:22] You take your stand on shifting sand, and we never know where you will land!
[04:28] You vacillate, and you fabricate, a wishy-washy candidate.
[04:36] Oh Romney-o, Romney-o.
[04:40] Wherefore art thou, Mitt Romney?
[04:42] As a governor, you let taxes rise; now every tax you demonize!
[04:50] You say it regardless of the facts, you'll take an axe to the millionaire's tax.
[04:57] You'd feed the greed of the richest few; the poor and middle-class you'd screw!
[05:04] Your tax returns you'll hide from view; what evil there lurks, we've no clue.
[05:12] If they're not bad, why hesitate?
[05:16] Is it that they incriminate?
[05:21] Romney-o, Romney-o.
[05:24] Wherefore art thou, Mitt Romney?
[05:27] And Bain, you plundered with a flair, and walked away a zillionaire!
[05:36] You shipped off-shore, good jobs galore, to China, and India, and Singapore!
[05:43] The job creator you are not, and the bullshit you are is tommyrot.
[05:51] As a total fraud, Mitt's got no peer.
[05:57] What we should do is crystal-clear.
[06:01] Let's give Obama four more years.
[06:07] Yes, it's Obama! Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!
They need to invite Ralph Maxwell to the Democratic National Convention. He's a national treasure.
