On the Debate Performance of Sarah Palin

Editorial Poet — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 04:55:58 +0000

With her accent and rhetoric errant,
Her amusement potential’s apparent.
But tonight disappointed;
I prefer her disjointed,
But she was, for the most part, coherent.

On the Overconfidence of HRC

Editorial Poet — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 03:30:18 +0000

Ol’ Senator Clinton, you see,
Has a penchant for hyperbole.
Her opponent’s ahead,
But she’s graciously said
That he’s free to campaign for VP.

On George Romney’s March

Editorial Poet — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 06:05:48 +0000

Mitt Romney’s father marched with Dr. King,
And young Mitt saw this with his very eyes,
Except there never took place such a thing,
And this Mitt surely must have realized.
And his support begins to vaporize.
But what if he was tricked beneath his nose
By someone donning fatherly disguise?
Or Mitt could have been brainwashed, I suppose.
To this, his family seems to be pre-disposed.

On Tom Tancredo’s Exit

Editorial Poet — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 02:24:23 +0000

Tancredo withdrew today, though,
If he thought that would come as a blow,
We were merely bemused;
I know I was confused,
‘Cause I thought he dropped out months ago.

On the Alleged Philandering of John Edwards

Editorial Poet — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 22:34:00 +0000

The cost of John Edwards’ affair
Won’t be limited just to child care.
There’ll be damage extensive,
Yet not so expensive
As the stylist who works on his hair.
