Well, they made us write poems in English class recently, and being the political events addict that I am, I wrote a funny political poem. Enjoy. Democratic Candidato en Staccato By George I. Once upon a time there was a boy named Bush His Dad had an oil field But the son was in no rush To reach his birthright Go to Yale and become President Not by the popular vote But the winner was evident So said Judge Rehnquist Lo and behold, three years passed The country was in turmoil War and Terror Forget the Peace This ain’t no Tolstoy Going after Saddam and Bin Laden While Kim Jong il munched his Ramen So our great leader said WMD And off we went Reborn was Patriotism It was the true time to feel like an American A year from which we stood shyly No weapon was found Not even a missile Or plutonium wizzle Torches ablaze, Democrats rang The Doorbell of the campaign house 04’ was painted on the door And it was their time to fight for the White House An election war First there was Dean, the left wing lefty He was so popular His campaign donations were hefty And then arrived seven others Kucinich Who ate mucho spinach Sharpton Who lived in a bourgeois reverend’s apartment Clark Who was out of the political ball park Gephardt Who gave the unions their part Graham Who was as old as green eggs and ham Brown The motherly voice That acted pro choice Lieberman Who needed to chill out on conservatism and get a tan Edwards Who just pretty please wanted to play nice And then came the storm One “specially interested” Senator came into the fray John Kerry A small time player Who months earlier did not have a prayer Meanwhile, Dean got mad He had spent all his moneys And the voters picked Kerry Bye bye to the Vermont Governor’s honeys Now Dean was not happy, He became mean Scared all the little children, In one werewolf-like scream And that was the end of the $40 million wonder Dean’s reign was over Kerry was on fire Saying that the President conspired To be AWOL from National Guard Duty The White House screamed: “Liar!!” And that’s how it started, the Great 04’ race Muckraking and lobbyists Politicians with untruthful tastes And what of Edwards, the good little boy from NC? Well, for him it probably isn’t meant to be Possibly VP Or an early retiree But we don’t know yet Republican or Democrat? The votes are not set It is all in your hands, dear American citizen Now is the time to decide, And elect your President
