John McCain's Ownership Society Limerick Contest: There once was a man with a temper ... by gimleteye

Readers may submit their own limericks to eyeonmiami.blogspot.com

There once was a man with a temper,
Of houses, he couldn't remember,
Did he own six, seven or eight?
He couldn't relate
And lost his way to November.

Cindy was very blonde
and soon she got married to John
Of this man she was very fond...
They exchanged pleasantries
As he dreamed of the presidency
She showered on him money
He said thank you honey
And that was the extent of their bond.

According to the Huffington Post
with more insiders than most,
McCain was considered quite blunt
when he called wife Cindy a cunt
It made people twitter
It made Cindy bitter
It was hardly a campaign stunt.

John McCain's temper is well documented. He's called opponents and colleagues "shitheads," "assholes" and in at least one case "a fucking jerk."...

Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

Dear john, he once stood for truth
but now that he's long in the tooth
he will scream, cheat and gnarl
as he listens to carl
perhaps that will play in Duluth

There once was a prisioner of war
whose career has gone really far
but november will come
though red states he'll win some
not enough to crown him new czar

And they say that he's quite the dancer
As tough questions he refuses to answer
for the rest of life
he'll hang out with rich wife
as the first one he abandoned with cancer

There once was a senator from 'zona
who once had a charming personna
but he now hems and haws
and loves showing his claws
yet his speech can put one in a coma

and the idiot we seek to replace
how that monkey has lied to our face
they will be hard to beat
as i hate to admit
that they'll make this an issue of race

to detroy Sir Obama is their plan
and theyll do everything that they can
they will lie and distort
but what hurts me the most
is they'll probably be re-starting the Klan

And the racists will call him Hussein,
as they'd rather that things stay the same
he's a commie!, they'll scream
and say screw "I have a dream "
He's a Muslim!! they like to proclaim

and the pinheads will make jokes bout obama
and how that sounds too much like Osama
they all live in the past
wish they'd all go back to rooting for BAMA...

There once was a hothead, McCain
To whom democrats all seemed the same
Not one bone his was humble
And the insults would tumble
You would think he was high on cocaine

Of the menace he’ll sound the alarm
The Nukes we should never disarm!
He can do more than most
And of his record hell boast
Just don’t ask him to raise both his arms

To win John keeps on going to his right
For he must show he’s business and might
He’s forgotten his roots
And now could give three hoots
As his party mates aren’t all that bright

For now I conclude this attack
As a writer im not much but a hack
But the target is easy
As their tactics are sleazy
Just you wait till they start calling him black

genius of despair thanks for the plaudit
thought i could have used a bit of an audit
see theres many a mistake
kicked these out in one take
if you're looking for perfect
this is not-it

i admit that i like when a dare
bet it gimleteyes or from G of despair
makes me waste prescious time
thinking things in form rhyme
its a habit thats hard to repair

as i read back im bothered i let it
go to blogworld without a good edit
but i guess ill remember
of all the time till november
to assign to some blame, to some credit.
