HOLLOW WEENIE
\n\u201cI may act like Elmer Fudd
\nAnd appear to be a dud,
\nBut I\u2019m truly spectacular,
\nThe awesome Count Barackula,
\nAnd I want to suck your blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

HOUSE OF HORRORS
\nBy the demons we all have been taunted
\nAs unnatural powers were flaunted,
\nBut the townsfolk will rout
\nAnd then drive the fiends out
\nOf the House on the Hill that is haunted.
\n(2009)<\/small><\/p>\n

GETTING WHAT WE ASK FOR
\nHalloween we all shout \u201cTrick or Treat!\u201d
\nAs we hit every house on the street.
\nThe next morning we wake
\nWith a bad stomach ache,
\n\u2018Cause we had too much candy to eat.
\n(2009)<\/small><\/p>\n

NANCYLVANIA
\nWith the change in the House status quo, see
\nThe new Madame Speaker Pelosi
\nEnduring the glare
\nWith the crazed, glassy stare
\nOf a transgendered Bela Lugosi.
\n(2007)<\/small><\/p>\n

NIGHT OF THE VOTING DEAD
\n\u201cWe\u2019ll be summoned from slumberous state
\nTo endorse the quadrennial slate;
\nThen it\u2019s back to the grave,
\nWhere we\u2019ll try to behave
\n\u2018Til the conclave of 2008!\u201d
\n(2004)<\/small><\/p>\n

REGISTERED VOTERS
\nThe polls open and who comes in?
\nMary Poppins and Mickey Finn,
\nThen Betty Boop
\nAnd Alley Oop,
\nSherlock Holmes and Gunga Din!
\n(2004)<\/small><\/p>\n

THE GREAT BUMPKIN
\nLinus scans the nightscape scary
\nFor a form imaginary:
\nThere, looming tall
\nLike an orange ball,
\nGlows a pumpkin-colored Kerry!
\n(2004)<\/small><\/p>\n

HILLAREEN
\nWhat compares to the horrible fright
\nThat will haunt us on Halloween night?
\nConsider the fear,
\nAs elections draw near,
\nGhoulish candidates soon will excite!
\n(2003)<\/small><\/p>\n

RECOUNT DRACULA
\nThere once was a man named Vlad
\nWho was known for a habit he had:
\nWith such pride in his nailing,
\nWhen he took to impaling
\nNo one ever would challenge his chad.
\n(2000)<\/small><\/p>\n

WHAT IS IT, E-GORE?
\nThe mad doctor was testing a drug
\nWhen he felt on his labcoat a tug:
\n\u201cMaster, oh Master,
\nWe\u2019ve got to work faster
\nTo destroy the Millennium Bug!\u201d
\n(1999)<\/small><\/p>\n

ZOMBIES
\nFrom justice they craftily fled
\nAnd avoided the sanctions they dread;
\nNow O.J. and Bill
\nCan linger at will
\nIn the night of the fast-living dead.
\n(1999)<\/small><\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s limerick:<\/em><\/p>\n

NEIN NEIN NEIN
\nAll that\u2019s needed are several swift whacks
\nFrom a strict constitutional axe:
\nTo destroy the machine
\nBuilt in 1913,
\nReestablish the indirect tax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
