'Bama and Dick

Obama and Dick were dueling
About torture and who they’ve been fooling
‘Bout the prisoners they’re hoarding
And about water boarding
Now there’ll be some retooling.

Numbnuts Nancy

Pelosi cannot choose
If she was given news
About our use
Of tourture and abuse
And now she’s blowing a fuse.

A Page Six Kinda Day

Torture fills all today’s news
It's really not stuff I can use
So I’ll take from page six:
Edward’s marriage has been nixed
And Holmes won’t make babies for Cruise.

Time for Humble Pie

There's a scandal brewing in London, folks. Read all about it - click the post title.

In their expense reports MPs told lies
And the Brits demanded replies
They bought dog food and a pet mouse
On the unknowing (Parliamentary) house
So the MPs will eat humble pies.

Going Postal

Stamps are up to 44 cents
I don’t know where the ten-centers went
I hope you got your “Forever” ones
If you’re like me then you have tons
Lots of letter means money well spent.

Plot for a Shot

‘Bama fired the man with the plan
To fly a jet near Manhattan island
Though it was just a plot
To get a good promo shot
Many quick-thinking people just ran.

Manny Being Bad

You thought baseball was done with the ‘roids
But the man with the dreads is still making’ noise
“It’s just Manny being Manny,
Yes, he could use a nanny”
But in this case that old line is void.

Stress for All

Now the stress test results are in
But it’s hard to know over the din
Which banks have enough dough
And which will need mo’
Much to their shareholders chagrin.

Be Gay in Maine

In Cali they voted Prop 8
Making many gay couples irate
But it’s legal up in Portland
Even Iowa in the Heartland!
But Christians just say it was fate.

Swine Flu Part III

After all it really ain’t bad
Those who are sick are just sick a tad
Though a few people passed on
At least it’s almost all gone
Surgeon masks may just be a quick fad.
