Win!!** BG,** I hereby nominate you for Grand Exalted Limerick Master of the Straight Dope!
:bows: Oh, I have man- well, several! It is a verse cycle I call “Comparative Political Ideologies 101”:
A Republican man-about-town
Could make a smile vertical frown
For, at finish, the heel
Always made the girl kneel
And let all the wealth trickle down!
A Democrat is well suited to diddle
In the sense that he’s . . . straight-up-the-middle
But, 'tween left and right hand
He can ne’er . . . make a stand
At the end, can just sit there and twiddle!
Socialists like to share their virility
But it brings social costs in fertility
For, “To each by her need!”
Is their true solemn creed,
But the sharing wears out the ability!
When an Anarchist’s out of her clothes
Make no mention of rules to impose
As to what’s hot or not
Or, what tab fits what slot –
She will make it all up as she goes!
The proud stalwarts of the Tea Party
Have lusts that are hearty but naughty
Such as offering their sacks
As mid-morning snacks
To all and to sundry! How haughty!
Although Fascists might seethe, rant, and hate
You can still, if you’ll dangle the bait
Have 'em your way, and then some
If but once you convince 'em
It is all for the good of the State!
An Objectivist Atlas will shrug
When the ladies won’t go past a hug
Self-reliant as Rand
Is his own nimble hand
On his Fountainhead ready to tug!
A Minuteman was a staunch, fearless warder
'Gainst the Brown Peril south of the border
'Til a boom-chicka chica
From south Costa Rica
Sucked him into a whole New World Order!
The bold ladies who camp with the OWSers
Are no puritanical wowsers
One can’t walk up Wall Street
Without hearing them tweet,
“Why, what’s that occupying your trousers?!”
A lascivious thing is a Green
Every tree, every shrub, every bean
Every beast classed “Endangered”
And life-forms far stranger
Must endure his attentions obscene!
A theocon’s holy and pious
But it seems that his judgment is biased
By his mind filled with floods
Of the cries of hung studs:
“Come into the closet and try us!”
Libertarians swing and they play
You can use them most any which way
Straight, gay, trans, or bi
Or whatever you’ll try
All while shouting, “For freedom! Hooray!”
As the editor said to the censor,
"************* amends, sir!
"***********
"Shove********
“*********** and denser!”
shakes fist Gluttooooon!
Is it [Sgt. Carter]Gluttooooon![/Sgt. Carter], or [Captain Kirk]Gluttooooon![/Captain Kirk]?
Wish I’d learnt politics in limerick form!
Start with Travesties.
