What is a McCain?

The Three Crows Make it to the Big Apple

"Start spreading the news. I'm leaving today. I want to be a part of it, New York, New York." The three crows were singing this song over and over again. They had finally arrived at the Big Apple. "New York City, what a grand place to be!" said Joe.

"It sure is crowded," remarked Jasper. "Times Square, Broadway, I just love this place!"

"And don't forget about the food," added Jake. "I could feast on their succulent cuisine forever."

"We'll talk about food later," remarked Joe. "It's election time. I've seen a lot of McCain signs. Did you know that a McCain is a new dessert by McDonald's? It's a red and white candy cane."

"Not so brother crow," replied Jasper. " A McCain is a walking stick that some people use to get around places."

Jake shook his head furiously. "McCain is a Republican candidate who is running to be the next President of the United States."

"Oh, I get it," said Joe. "A McCain is a Republican candidate who likes to suck on candy canes while using a walking stick to support himself."

The three crows agreed that this description for a McCain was correct. Jasper then suggested, "Let's fly over to the Statue of Liberty. I've always had a thing for tall women."

Joe, Jasper, and Jake flew off to Lady Liberty. They were going to do some sightseeing while in New York City. "I want to be a part of it, New York, New York," squawked Jake.

    This is clever. I thought McCain was a synonym for war monger.
