Too Close To Call

Much too close for comfort. Far too close to call.
The pollsters play the game.
We see the chips fall.

Much too close for lulling. Far too close to stop.
The natters mold the faith.
We see the lies swap.

Much too close for sureness. Far too close to bank.
The experts count the score.
We see the stocks tank.

Much too close for leisure. Far too close to rest.
The prophets warn the end.
We see the times nest.

Much too close for surmise. Far too close to show.
The lenders slant the scale.
We see the debts grow.

Much too close for hubris. Far too close to cheek.
The pundits spin the yarn.
We see the news reek.
