ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MENSCHIM

Obama's on his way to gathering a minyan,

And that is more than merely my opinion.

There's Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod,

Both natural choices, nothing in the least odd.

Plus Larry Summers and less-known Ronald Klain,

Both excellent advisors, as is plain.

As well there's Peter Orszag and Tim Geithner,

Each a brilliant gentleman, none "brightner."

And last–for now–is Obama's man of the hour:

Paul Volcker, the veteran six-foot-seven tower.

Just three to go to reach the required ten–

How about some worthy women to join the men?
