Okay fellow citizens here's a chance to post your most acerbic, yet good-natured limerick in support of your favorite candidate, or poking fun at your least favorite candidate. Or poking fun at all of them. Take your best shot (or shots, multiple posts allowed), but expect your fellow forum readers to critique you. Original limericks are best, but you can modify old ditties if you want. When the thread flames out, we will have entertained ourselves. Let see what you got. Here's just a couple of sample to get this whole thing started, one is original, the other is a partially plagarized:

With all the attention she gets
The Republicans have a sure bet
Sarah campaigns alone
They send Johnny home
(But to which of the seven they fret)

A gal from Wasilla one Fall
Wore a newspaper dress to the ball
The dress caught on fire
And burned it entire
Sports page, front page and all

In Alaska Sarah Palin hunted the moose
While on her back she carried a papoose
When John McCain got her on the horn
A political super star was born
One that cooked Barak Obama's goose

A presidential candidate name of McCain
Put his opponent under great strain
When his running mate pick
Was a good looking chick
And one with a pretty good brain

A President surnamed Obama
Has promised the head of Osama
If that's what it took
To bring peace hook-by-crook
From the Suez Canal to Panama

Obama found his man Joe Biden
In Delaware where he was hidin
From the far north to the deep south
Joe is known for puttin his foot in his mouth
On these two the democrat's hopes are ridin

A boring old John named McCain
Picked a pepperpot who, it was plain,
Had vigor & vim
Overshadowing him
Which drove jealous Cindy insane

A candidate for office named Obama
Had some friends who were more like Osama
He had the thing won
‘till he shot off that pig pun
Now he couldn’t get a vote from his Mama

I like that one you done Sam. You would be proud of me, ain't even been tempted to read PW's contributions.

Thanks morgan. But calling PW's stuff here conbributions is sorta like calling horse $hit fertilizer. I don't read it anymore unless it starts a thread, and I'm trying to be more carefull and not open or post on threads he started. I'll give him one thing though. From the number of them gray ignored post lines, he sure must have a remarkabe threashold of bordom.

Yeah, but you have to realize that by definition a narcissist exhibits self-love. They love to hear themselves speak, read their own writings, and they are the only ones that know how to please themselves in another way too, if you get my drift. In short, no one can please a narcissist better than they can their self, in any way. PW is a text book example too. I studied narcissism in psychology class, it was a real eye opener. The ONE thing that upsets the narcissist most is to be ignored. Nothing on Earth is worse than that, except possibly the most extreme physical pain.

Jethro's boy Barak Hussein
Polls showed was starting to strain
He started to whine
Thinking things would be fine
Showing a total lack of a brain

The undeclared War in Iraq
Sure sent our train down the wrong track
While black "Texas Tea"
Enriches al-Maliki
George Bush must bail out Freddie Mac

She started with spectacular flair
But the earmarks it turns out she snared
Is she John's redeemer
The Republican dreamer
Or is she John's bridge to nowhere?

Good one, jitterbug!

Once Hillary hit Capitol Hill
She expected her very next thrill
To beat angry white men
But taking residence again
In the White House was thwarted by Bill

The morning mirror reflected a feline
She can't face the world like some she-swine
She leans on the sink
Smearing lipstick bright pink
To disguise a mean pit-bull canine

A variation on situationroom's theme...


A motor-mouthed Mormon named Mitt
Found himself w/ a bull in a pit
Then Mike Huckabee
Told Mitt teen pregnancy
Will play fine w/ some lipstick & grit

Jethro says McCain is a prick
and considers himself very slick
But the truth is known
As their posts have shown
Jethro makes everyone sick

In the land of the midnight sun
Everyone carries a gun
Their Governor is a lady
Who hates the bill by Brady
And goes moose hunting for fun
