I am really focusing on the politics lately. It's a good move in a effort to be the next wonkette. She is a pretty cool blogger, I guess. But let's just say she doesn't do poetry so...point Poetic Jabberwocky.
Today's limerick is what I picture a bunch of robed Republicans chanting as they add ingredients to a smoking cauldron. Eye of Newt Gingrich, balls of (Michael) Steele, heart of health care. First they say:
Double double, create trouble.
Liars burn and tempers bubble.*
Then they all drink the Kool-Aid and chant together in perfect union:
Let's distract with newsworthy dramas
And argue 'bout where to put commas
In bills we'll never pass
In a move to harass
And try to dethrone the Obamas.
To all you Republicans out there, you heard me! It's a challenge. Try and do something to benefit all the members of your constituency (the human ones, not just the corporations) rather than just toting the party line. I know you have real feelings behind that mask, let it out!
* It's paraphrased Shakespeare, people. Macbeth, to be specific. You should check it out sometime.
