Inauguration Now That's Poetry

Posted by on Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 12:46 PM

You didn't like the inaugural poem? Write a better one—like Jake has over at NoFo.

We never liked your monkey face,
Your Jeebus-lovin’ master race,
Your evil axis, your pet Dick,
Your obviously elfin prick,

Your fake Iraqi weapons trove,
Your puppetmaster Karl Rove,
The way you swing at words and miss,
Your inarticulatedness,

Your utter lack of common sense,
Your federal funds for abstinence,
Your intellectual bourgeoisie,
Your selfish foreign policy...

Read the rest here.

I think he was just trying to find something to rhyme with "monkey face."

See Dick run, run Dick run. See spot chase Dick off Air Force One. Would be more fun, than the sharpest pencils. Simplicity fails when the truth is stenciled. She should have remained artfully dumb.
