Daily Crossword Puzzle Poem Draft for 1/7/10

We may suspect who we elect
will be shaken by their napes.
There's no escape and what's on tap
won't clear our eye. Matriarchal lemur,
spirit of the night, we're missing
more than your ring tail. We stomp
clumsily, forget to pay our rent,
argue holier than ewe.
You bet we need a keeper
lovelier than Rita.
Youneeda biscuit or an alibi.
We name our child Enola.
We're all lost in space,
the answer backwards on the B-side.
