Limericks for our times . . . call for entries
I'll start:

There was a fake cowboy named Bush
A war on Iraq he did push
His cronies get profits
Our gas price skyrockets
I think Bush needs a kick in the tush

Next?

1. I'll try...
Three lads Bush, Cheney and Rummy
Told lies so incredibly scummy
To lead us to war
But we folks say "No More
To Gitmo you go, hope it's sunny"

2. There's a fake cowboy from Nantucket,
Who regularly tells us to suck it,
A hundred thousand dead,
Most shot in the head,
He's on his vacation, so fuck it.

3. There once was a doctor named Rice
who gave her dear "husband" advice.
On war she did sell us,
but never did tell us
she cooked the intelligence twice.

4. I'll try
We went to a country called Iraq
And proceeded to get hit in the nutsack
Our leader is nothing but a partisan hack
Accountability is a trait he does lack
Oh when will we get our country back?

who popped pills with his fat, greasy paw,
but the cops made a stink
so he's off to the clink
to stick more than a pill in his maw.

9. I wrote this one a while ago.
A President named George W. Bush
Had his head so far up his tush
When they fell from the sky,
He attacked the wrong guy
And all our ideals just went "Smoosh!"

13. OK
There once was a cretin named George,
whose appetite for oil he gorged.
When multitudes decried
his actions, he lied;
and thus, his demise was forged.

There once was a failure from Connecticut
Who wasn't so versed in etiquette,

and gave his buddies an up
Cept for that Mom who kicked his butt.

For Bush always had a HOORAY!
But a "Guardsman" he was,
Now in Iraq for their cause.
I wonder what NOW he would say.

True story, by the way. This is the guy who called me "Pinko" and a "Libbie" for supporting Gore. Interestingly enough he wasn't HERE for the last election.

54. War Iimerick. Death of Democracy. This is Rush's Brain on Drugs
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 01:08 PM by progressivebydesign
There once was a war in Iraq
Against people who didnt attack
Bush chortled with pride
We have GOD on our side!
while Halliburton rakes it in by the sack.



There was once a democracy so fine
for hundreds of years some would say it sublime
But with a wave of the court
and a privileged snort
the democracy died on the vine.


There once was a windbag named Rush
whose hyperbole no one could touch
in his drug induced state
he spewed buckets of hate
until his addled mind turned into mush.

61. Don't you know that you can't run the nation
Don't you know that you can't run the nation
If you stay on an endless vacation
Get your ass back to work
You ignorant Jerk
We've had enough of your bull defecation

You have poisoned our water and air
And Earth's climate is in disrepair
We've been raped at the pumps
Cause the voters were chumps
You're a pain in the ass I'll declare

All the world's figured out you're a prick
And our country's been run by a Dick
Your brain stays on vacation
You have screwed up our nation
I hope three years whiz by mighty quick.

You're a turd and a crook and a boor
You're a bastardly arrogant whore
Your trademark silly smirk
Has been failing to work
And you can't fool a soul anymore.

There's jobs in the paper for checkers
And someone who can flip double-deckers
Momma can't feed the kids
Health care too's on the skids
While the pResident plays with horse peckers

For a fool who read bout his pet goat
When the terrorists came
And set New York aflame
He fled to someplace very remote
