Haiku of Townhall
Used to do this semi-regularly* over at Parrotline:
O! The perfidy!
Corrupt and secretive Dems!
Regards, Sen. Chutzpah
Would-be top doc sez:
Don’t stick stuff up my ass, fagzz!
My head’s got first dibs!
Men’s health? Women’s health?
It’s a zero-sum game, peeps!
So … weiner-take-all!
I LOVE THE SMELL OF
BRIBE-CROSSED PALMS IN THE MORNING
WHERE’S THEM PING-PONG BARS?
God to Democrats:
Let’s … get … ready … to … rummmmmmmmmmmmble!
Take that, Bruce Buffer!
Foul Democracy
I grow weary of your yoke
Shall no man be King?
YAY … for ignorance!
BOO … for a sick kid’s mother!
G-O-O-O-O … cell clusterings!
Kill the heretics!
Pour boiling oil on peasants!
Teh Dark Ages roolzz!!!!!1!
In Lib La-La Land
All the starlets graze on mush
And Al Gore is fat
Terror plot tells us
We’re simultaneously
More safe and less safe
Iran? Hostages?
That’s some Reagan-y goodness!
There I go again!
First they came for the
Small trucks, but I like Big Macs
Or something like that
I could spit you some
War shit 24-7
Mu’fuckazz … yeh boyyyyyy

How about a haiku that explains the difference between “cutting off funding” and “funding the end of the war”?
Democrats are playing the same old “depends on what ‘is’ means” game, and it won’t work now.
America is against withdrawal and against Democrat funds to cut off funds for our troops. That’s why Democrats caved, because they know that they would have lost their majority if they allowed for the funding for our troops to end.

Hey, this is fun. Here’s a limerick.
There once was a blogger named Brittney
Whose use of a quote was quite shitty.
JG blew a gasket
The blogger, quite fast, quit
And everyone lost. More’s the pity.

Righteous Bubba said,

I just couldn’t stop reading that thread
Hey, it starts with molesting the dead
And adds goofy excuses
And very short fuses
And everyone’s faces turned red
MzNicky said,
June 9, 2007 at 5:51
Righteous Bubba, that’s it in a nutshell.
There’s no way this all will turn out well.
What just chaps my ass
Is the wingnuts laugh last
And we’re left in an “eat our own” self-hell.
Okay, that’s pretty clunky.
Righteous Bubba said,
June 9, 2007 at 6:18
I couldn’t stop typing my thoughts
Whether insults or pithy bon mots
But I couldn’t push “post”
So avoided the roast
Of the bonfire of can’t-be-wrong snots.
MzNicky said,
June 9, 2007 at 6:31
RB: “mots” doesn’t rhyme with “thoughts” and “snots.”

It’s a limerick. Of course it does.
MzNicky said,
June 9, 2007 at 6:36
Also:
I know what you mean. I, too, typed
A few snarly remarks, overhyped
With outraged indignation
But self-preservation
Prevailed, and the comments I wiped.
Righteous Bubba said,
June 9, 2007 at 6:43
Best to say nothing, I think
When the outrage spills out of the sink
And down on to the floor
And out past the front door
And you need to call Net Plumbers Inc.

The General may have been a bit hasty
But Brittney’s post made her seem pasty

There once was a jackass called Smantix
Who pissed off the left with his antics
Sadly, a schism

Being discovered somewhere besides the stuck-together pages of ‘24′ fan-fics

Two from a past Sadly thread:
There once was a young man called Sven
Who’d been OCD since way back when
He’d count peas on his plate
And make wall-hangings straight
And this kind of thing would drive him nuts.
…
An obsessive-compulsive named Rex
Was a slave to his syndrome’s effects
He’d wash hands night and day
And then got carried away
On a stretcher after he read this part of the limerick and threw himself under a bus.
And As for eating our own? Well, they’re tasty! is funny.

Apparently, I missed the Sadly No Late Night “Poetry” ‘n’ Hashish Slam. (Scare quotes intentional.) And now all the good wingnuts are taken (either in haiku or limerick format — now there’s an interesting juxtaposition).
Well, that horse may be dead, but ain’t nothin’ gonna stop me kickin’ it a few more times… but let’s try a different format.
