Woe. And poetry. In equal measure.
Due to my tragic inability to wake up in time to go to Katherine's for dinner, I find myself contracted to write several pomes to assuage my guilt.
A Pome On Stupidity
My social engagements aren't many
In fact I so rarely have any
You'd think that today
I'd get carried away
And not fall asleep and forget to go out to dinner like a complete fool
A Pome on My Apology to Katherine
Oh, Katherine! Mea culpa!
Forgive me, please, my dear!
I failed to come to your party
I have damaged our friendship, I fear
Oh, Katherine! Mea culpa!
I have no good excuse
I can't blame you for pointing a finger
And murmuring so sadly, "J'accuse"
Oh, Katherine! Mea culpa!
I promise I'll improve
You won't miss me the next time, I swear it
Cuz I'll come and we'll get in the groove
A Pome on Barack Obama
Obama, Barack
Will pull out of Iraq
And here in the UK we'll clap
Obama, Barack
Will get things on track
And raise all that corporate tax
Obama, Barack
The man's not on crack
But you are if you vote for his ageing, inconsistent, right-wing, pro-life, misogynistic opponent
A Pome (or Song) on Sarah Palin
In Wasilla's famed Main Street
Where the girls are so upbeat
I first set my eyes on sweet Sarah Palin
With her lack of credentials
(She's not presidential)
Singing "Russia's right out there, so vote for me now!"
"So vote for me no-ow
Oh vote for me no-ow"
Singing "Russia's right out there
So vote for me now"
She was a fearmonger
And sure 'twas no wonder
She thinks that all women should be stripped of choice
Cuz God loves all babies
Even more than the ladies
She says "Barack is a killer, so vote for me now!"
"So vote for me no-ow
So vote for me no-ow"
She says "Barack is a killer
So vote for me now"
She's full of defiance
And doesn't trust science
So the mad right-wing crowd give her a ten
And though McCain's near to drowning
You won't see her frowning
Winking "Oh-12 will be great, guys, so vote for me then!"
"So vote for me then
Oh, vote for me then
Winking, "Oh-12 will be great, guys
So vote for me then"
