LEFT BEHIND
\n“Will our nemesis nevermore vex us,
\nEnrage and appall and perplex us?
\nWill we not feel the same
\nWhen he’s out of the game
\nIn a quiet retirement in Texas?”<\/p>\n

Archive:<\/em><\/p>\n

SAY GOODBYE, GEORGE
\nAs your second term comes to an end,
\nSay farewell to the fair-weather friend,
\nWhose encouraging voice
\nWill become ugly noise
\nAnd oppose where it once would defend.
\n(2007)<\/small><\/p>\n

HU KNOWS
\nHow we cheered at the clarion call
\nFor the Soviet Union’s downfall!
\nNow it’s President Bush
\nGiving China a push
\nTo demolish their own wicked wall!
\n(2007)<\/small><\/p>\n

COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT
\n“Be careful when choosing new hires
\nAnd make sure they fulfill your desires;
\nIf you want to choose wiser,
\nAsk a trusted advisor.
\n\u2014 Yours truly, Harriet Miers.”
\n(2005)<\/small><\/p>\n

P FOR PRESIDENT
\nHere\u2019s a problem that is knotty
\nAnd could drive a person dotty:
\nWhen a meeting\u2019s not brief,
\nThe Commander in Chief
\nSometimes has to use the potty.
\n(2005)<\/small><\/p>\n

MAGIC KARL MYSTERY
\nNothing Bush could win, but still he won.
\nNothing Bush could spin, but still he spun.
\nAll he needs is Rove.
\nAll he needs is Rove.
\nRove. Rove. Rove\u2019s his all-in-one.
\n(2005)<\/small><\/p>\n

SEMPER FI
\nThe criticism may be intense
\nOf his Secretary of Defense,
\nBut George Bush is no dummy:
\nHe\u2019ll be sticking with “Rummy,”
\nAs a matter of common sense.
\n(2005)<\/small><\/p>\n

BABES FOR BUSH
\nTry as hard as you possibly can,
\nYou\u2019ll not find even one Kerry fan:
\nAs election day looms,
\nAll the babes in their wombs
\nKnow instinctively Bush is their man!
\n(2004)<\/small><\/p>\n

COMMISSION IMPOSSIBLE
\nThe “impartial” commission betrayed
\nPublic trust and became a charade:
\nUnfair and uncouth,
\nThey have trampled the truth,
\nBlaming Bush for the mess Clinton made.
\n(2004)<\/small><\/p>\n

CARCASS RACE
\nDean and Gephardt start to run.
\nKerry, Edwards join the fun.
\nThey hear a whoosh
\n\u2013 And there goes Bush,
\nLapping everyone.
\n(2004)<\/small><\/p>\n

SNACK ATTACK
\nThe President seldom gets ill.
\nAt least, he hasn\u2019t yet. Still,
\nTo maintain that vim,
\nMy advice to him
\nIs to pass when proffered a pretzel.
\n(2002)<\/small><\/p>\n

W STANDS FOR WINNING
\nIn the midst of waging a war,
\nWe have much to be thankful for,
\nSince it\u2019s President Bush
\nWho\u2019s leading the push
\nInstead of President Gore.
\n(2001)<\/small><\/p>\n

Last week’s limerick:<\/em><\/p>\n

FRONT TEETH
\nThanta, there’th a thpaith
\nI’d like you to replaith:
\nI’ll jump with glee
\nWhen all can thee
\nThe thmile upon my faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
