Political Limericks on Election 2008

Is the Word 'Limerick" a Combo of 'Liberal' and 'Maverick'? Do "Hockey Moms" Wear Hockey Masks?

Roger Gowens

1. The GOP ticket of McCain-Palin

to the White House appeared to be sailin'

'til voters turned on the news

and saw the Couric interviews

now, like the economy their campaign is ailin'

2.Vote for change said a man named Obama

while dodging mud thrown by a hockey mama

as voters McCain tries to scare

Palin shrinks under the glare

and the campaign turns into bad karma

3.A self-proclaimed maverick name of McCain

saw his presidential hopes going down the drain

McCain sealed his fate

when he chose his running mate

if he wins for his health we'll be prayin'

4.to big banks and insurance government lends

paid for by a middle class that never wins

the economy is sound

said a man tightly wound

now his campaign's in the toilet, my friends

5.Sarah Palin is a pol who hunts moose

The GOP's ship has two cannons that are loose

when McCain made his pick

to replace a man named Dick

the "maverick" in effect cooked his goose

6.McCain's running mate was less than super

in interviews Palin was a walking blooper

when not stoking angry mobs

Palin spoke of creating jobs

unless you're an Alaska state trooper

7.In an election that has been quite strange

with banks foreclosing on the home on the range

a vote for Nader won't be good

voting for Barr requires a hood

the choice is more of the same versus change
