Re: Iraq’s Reality BandwagonObviously, this calls for a limerick. Give me a few minutes. I'll compose one while I'm installing a bathroom exhaust fan.
In all sincerity, the only way out of this mess is if, in the face of continuing calls for Bush and Cheney's impeachment, they are convinced to resign for the good of the nation by the republican hierarchy. This would make Pelosi president and she would be under immense pressure from the left wing of her party to withdraw the troops immediately.
Ah! Better yet, you compose one. I'll insert it into this post later, along with the one (or more) I come up with.
12/7/2006. Inspired by Southern Writer (serving, I guess, as a sort of muse), I just wrote:
Hey now, wouldn't it be preziosiAnd, now that I've gotten off the dime, Serena Joy has written:
If both Bush and his Bela Lugosi
Resigned their post
Or gave up the ghost
And the presidency fell to Pelosi?
It is a limerick, for true,And I say:
Bush and Cheny, Moristotle does rue.
If they gave up the ghost,
I'd propose a toast
To a whole new motley crew.
Thanks, Serena, for the valiant entry,
To my own verse apt and complementary.
May Bush and his pawn
Forever be gone
And nevermore claim they're landed gentry.
Inasmuch as I've finally gotten around to (like, an hour ago) starting Bob Woodward's new book, I suspect I will have some highly colorful commentary on the subject at hand in due course. 'Til then, I shall leave the limerick making to you. Um, could you hurry up? I could sort of use a giggle or two.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could "hurry up," but I found myself mildly cursing my muse yesterday for utter noncompliance. However, I didn't finish that fan installation, so I'll try again today.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing what you have to say about the Woodward book.
Bush and Cheney resign? My heart be still!
ReplyDeleteSorry I can't do the limerick, but I suck at them. I only know one and it's dirty.
Ha! Supposedly I could do the limerick, but I still haven't...but, now that you have given me this added impetus...
