I feel inspired to write a poem

[EarlG]

Fitzmas is coming
And the goose is getting fat,
Please put a penny
In St. Patrick's hat.

There's Scooter Libby
Looking awful grim,
I think some handcuffs
Would look good on him.

Aspens are turning
With their roots entwined,
Rove's in the bathroom
With a box of wine.

Fitzmas is coming,
Bush's goose is getting cooked,
Someone tell Cheney
That the old bird's fooked.

11. A limerick for you, sir:

There once was a man named Fitzgerald,
Whose country was leaked and imperiled
He heard about Plame,
Would not play their game,
And became the one truth's only herald.

[EarlG]

15. Another Fitzsmas one for you

Hark the herald angels sing,
Looks like Rove is going to swing!
Maybe Libby, Cheney too
Several more before they’re through!
Joyful all ye subjugated
We think Fitz is under-rated
With some luck he’ll drag in Bush
Then he’ll get the final push!
With some luck ….

[dalaigh lllama]

42. I like!

Especially "Joyful all ye subjugated" -- one o' them thar big words and "fitz" the meter perfectly.

Looking awful grim,
I think some handcuffs
Would look good on him."

31. We cannot forget our JEWISH FRIENDS, now

OH! PATRIKKAH!!!!

Patrikkah, Oh Patrickkah
The sweet celebration
Around the tube we gather
in complete jubilation

Many are the reasons for good cheer
Now that Indictment Season is here
Many are the reasons for good cheer
Now that Indictment Season is here

Together, such pleasure
for what the future brings
So hear us rejoicing and merrily voicing
the Patrikkah song that we sing
So hear us rejoicing and merrily voicing
the Patrickkah song that we sing

Oh Patrickkah, Oh Patrickkah
The Festival of Joy
A holiday, a jolly day
for every girl and boy
Watching for frogmarches, all week long
Cheering for Fitz, singing songs
Watching for frogmarches, all week long
Cheering for Fitz, singing songs

Indict them, tonight then
The thieves all in a row
Retell the story, election thefts so gory
And dance by the flickering glow
Retell the story, election thefts so gory
And dance by the flickering glow!
