DISQUS

AMERICAblog: A new art form: Sarah Palin Limericks

  • Lolis · 1 year ago
    The Alaska Disasta has sparked a lot of creativity.

    A debater, the eminent Joe
    Whitened his teeth just for show
    He went on TV
    To show them to me
    But Sarah's were brighter, ya know
  • BarrieT · 1 year ago
    A governor called Sarah Palin
    On standby 'cos McCain is ailin'
    with the shape of a sylph
    some call her a MILF
    But her racist campaigning is failin'

    Joe Experience debated Young Pup
    All her knowlege would fit a small cup
    The Republican sons
    Declared she had won
    On grounds that she didn't screw up

    Those are awful! They don't rhyme or scan properly, and the jokes suck. Here's how a limerick is supposed to go:

    There once was a guv'nor named Sarah,
    As racist as Scarlet O'Hara.
    Though very pro-choice,
    She was cursed with a voice
    From a cartoon by Hanna-Barbera.

    Definitely your's is best so far.
  • BarrieT · 1 year ago
    I agree, the rhyming and scansion are desperate on most of them. Yours is a proper limerick, and has inherently funny similes.

    Edward Lear's originals were pretty weak, imo.

    Cute little pup will
    Rip out your throat. Yes, we all
    love pitbulls, oh wait.

    not a limerick but a (very clumsy) haiku. And my apologies to pitbull owners. I've known some very sweet ones.

    Yes that winsome gal from Alaska
    would be a complete disaster
    her pitbull ego
    would pull down wade v roe
    and we'd be forbidden to ask her

    So voters don't keep your head bowed
    As they whip up their rabid crowd
    Go out on Nov 4
    Give Obama top score
    shouting 'yes we can' aloud

    Limerick = Gotcha Poetry

    There once was a candidate Palin
    Whose integrity always was failin'
    Inciting the mob,
    and bad at her job,
    The McCain campaign is now flailing!
  • cargocult · 1 year ago
    McCain figured good things would happen
    with a V.P. who loved fishin' and trappin'
    and to boot, she was cute
    But the huzzahs seemed mute
    Is that the sound of one free wing-nut hand clappin'?
  • russael · 1 year ago
    Oh the lass who came from Wasilla
    Made Republicans wish that their pilla
    Would hold her sweet head
    As she laid on their bed
    And spouted her GOP swilla.
  • russael · 1 year ago
    My campaign is now a disaster
    Oh why did I go to Alaska
    To find me a mate
    Served me wolf on a plate,
    Did you shoot it yourself? I'll ask her.

    Why John, said she, you're a wuss,
    Obama's winning, that doofus,
    You won't say he's a n--
    Cause you know that he's bigger
    In all ways than you, you puss.
