Clinton theorizes scientific defense to disbarment
proceedings. (a limerick)
To counter disbarment proceedings,
I learned from the gene-mapping treatise
That my genes present
a brand-new defense:
the lies were all told by my
penis.
© 2000 (Inspired by
legislative proposals against genetic-based
discrimination in light of the Drudge report on 06-30-00 that Joe Eszterhas's
new book, American Rhapsody, features a final chapter narrated by
Clinton's "talking penis" for which Bill Maher serves as the voice in
the audio version.)

Genome research reveals Clinton's "talking

In politics, Clinton's a genius--
a guy who's from Mars and not Venus
But genome research
reveals a strange quirk--
that he has a fast-talking penis.

New I-R-S Heaven: Reform five-two-sevens.
(a limerick)
"Reform" for the five-twenty-sevens
is really just aid and abettin'
for making a nest
to give I-R-S
more space in its Big Brother Heaven.

to increase IRS authority over 527 organizations engaging in political speech.)

Adios to Elian (a set of limericks)
We know there are sad times in life
when something that's legal ain't right.
We owe toleration
but not celebration
when someone surrenders his rights.
'Though we are obliged to respect
Juan's right to refuse
to defect,
We can't rejoice
at his lack of choice
to do what free men would think best.

Genome-Mapping Leads to Genetically-Improved
Celebrity-Activists (a limericks)
An anti-gun theme Rosie touts
except for her guard when she's out.
The gene should come out
that teaches her how
to talk from both sides of her
mouth.

Genome-Mapping Leads to Genetically-Improved
Politicians (a set of limericks)
Since mapping the genome's complete,
our steps will become giant leaps.
The most urgent mission
is fix politicians
to stop them from being such creeps.
For Dubya, whose past was much juicier,
whom critics call
dumber and snootier,
What to do first?
Get rid of the smirk--
then give him the gene to say
"nuclear."
And what should we do with Al Gore,
the man with inventions galore?
To end his temptation
for prevarication,
we'll splice-out the gene for Gore
Lore.
And how can we stop John McCain
from singing the same old
refrain?
A gene to unzip
his feelings of guilt
for riding the Keating-Five train.
And what about Patrick Buchannan,
whose mouth has become a loose cannon?
His genes are too straight
and now it's too late
to stop his crusade against
Mammon.
And what about candidate Nader,
who thinks he is fighting Darth Vader?
His mental bionics
and world-savior complex
need transplanted genes from
day-traders.
Ventura said in his next life,
a D-cup he'd be with delight.
To help him prepare,
we'll give him new hair
and boobies to make the cups tight.

The Road to Damascus.
For years we heard Nader and Gore
proposing that gas should cost more !
But now that it's high,
they suddenly cry
that surely the price should be lower
!
So what is the reason that both
now say that the price should be low?
Of course it is rude
for us to conclude
they're simply competing for votes.

Gasoline Prices: Gouging for Votes
(a set of limericks)
Since gasoline prices have risen,
Al Gore takes a puzzling position.
His book said we need
high prices indeed
to save us from cars run
by pistons.
Yet now he has started espousing
that high prices
constitute gouging,
But it ain't the money,
it's who gets it, honey,
just "profits" not
taxes are "gouging."

(British
Telecom seeks royalties for hyperlink patent.)
British Empire reborn as British E-empire
(a set of limericks).
The Twentieth Cent'ry's last half ...
saw Great Britain's Empire collapse
But now like a phoenix,
it rises to greet us
and subjugate us to a tax.
Of course, it's not really a tax--
just fees under patent-law acts.
You've prob'ly been thinking
that web-hyperlinking
was something that Al Gore
begat,
But soon we will hear Gore admitting
that British chaps did the inventing.
Who now with great pluck
demand that so much
be paid to so few by so many
!

Imus the ex-disk-jockey becomes a dissed-jockey.
(a set of limericks)
We know Mother Nature abhors
two horses' rear-ends on a horse
When Imus was thrown,
the horse that he owns
was listening to Nature's own voice
!
We hope he's surrounded by kindness
and hope that his
treatment's the finest
Like all the rest,
we send him our best
and also best-wishes to Imus.

Happy Father's Day, Dad ! (a string of
limericks)
On Father's Day I am so glad
to have time to be with my Dad.
His goal in life:
take care of his wife,
his daughter and
knucklehead lad.
I'm proud to have sons of my own,
and both into good men
have grown.
And my selfless Dad
has helped my two lads
when I came up short on my own.
And so there are no words to say
enough to my Dad on this day
To fully express
my love and respect and
honor his unselfish ways.

Elian's Father's Day Card to Castro plagiarizes
Hitler-Youth Card to the Fuehrer . Some things are so self-evidently absurd that neither
satire nor parody is needed illustrate such absurdity. Thus, Elian's
Father's Day Card to Castro speaks for itself:
"On this Father's Day, we want to send an affectionate greeting, and a well-deserved kiss, to all of you, especially to one father whom we love dearly for his unrivaled teachings and his infinite love for us, our
Commander-in-Chief... "

Hard-drives found at Los Alamos (a set of
limericks)
Bill Richardson said with relief,
the hard-drives are not with a thief
He says they were found
still-on secure ground,
and maybe that is
his belief.
But PoliSat has a good source
as good as the mouth of the
horse.
We know they were found
on far-away ground:
in
toilets for tenants of Gore !

Rat de jour-- a pita not sanctioned by PeTA (a set of limericks)
We've read there's a show called "Survivors"
that's out-rating most of
its rivals
'Though I can't review it
'cause I haven't viewed it,
I know it deserves a
high-5-er !
Of course it ain't La Dolce Vita
to eat a cooked rat in a
pita,
But what is so good
about rat de jour?
It angers fanatics at PeTA !

Bridging the Digital Divide, Part II (limericks) (Part I,
click here.)
Both Clinton and Gore take great pride
in closing the digital divide
We know Foggy Bottom
has helped the downtrodden
by
leaving their doors open wide.
But who has helped close it the most?
Those kind
folks at Los Alamos!
They say to their guests,
"Please sample our best--
we hope you won't turn
us to toast."

Los Alamos hard-drives-- Where did they go?
(limericks)
Los Alamos hard-drives are key
to stopping a Nuke-'Em-High spree.
So back in late April,
a Richardson cable
said keep 'em as safe as can be !
And what did they see as the danger?
A fire set by
fed'ral park rangers.
'Cause ev'ryone knows
how strong the wind blows
except of course fed'ral park
rangers.
And this gave the scientists jitters
'cause rangers just care about critters
So scientists hired
an expert on fire,
but sadly he was the low
bidder.
To save things from fire on the way,
it's best to just
move them away.
The next best protection
is water convection
for things that are not moved away.
And so the low-bidder proposed
to use not just one way but both
For safety through distance
and water resistance,
he code-named his plan
"flush-and-go."
He stationed a worker beside
the room with the
hard-drives inside
His recommendation
required simulation
to be sure the drives would survive.
But on that poor worker's first day,
he heard the words "Fire's on the
way!"
He thought it was real
and not just a drill,
and so he just flushed them away.
They searched for them thirty-some days
'til driven away
by a blaze
Then there were leaks
that prospects were bleak
and searchers were panicked and
dazed.
But miracles happen each day,
and now all the hard-drives are safe,
It's hard to believe,
but they were retrieved
from toilets at Al Gore Estates.

Al Gore's latest invention:
The AlGoreMobile-- Al Gore uses his knowledge of
science and politics to invent an innovative,
environmentally friendly way to improve transportation while at the same time
reducing hazardous dumps, dependence on foreign oil, fossil-fuel depletion,
and poverty. Al Gore explains the inspiration for his latest
invention:
Without even slight condescension,
I must say I make good inventions
And how do I do it?
There ain't nothin' to it,
'cause nothin' escapes my
attention !
On learning my tenants' conditions
don't satisfy plumbing conventions
Since each time they flush,
they're wading in slush,
I thought of a brand-new
invention.
I always stay right up to date
on ev'rything science can make
So I knew of course a new fuel source:
We now can refine human waste
And what gives my Green heart a thrill?
To get it we don't have to drill
My tenants can "go,"
then sell overflow,
and soon their accounts will
be filled.
The profit we'll take from the till
to make a new automobile
Then we will hype a new prototype
and call it the AlGoreMobile
This auto will please the whole nation,
'cause no one will need service stations
And if you ask me
just how this can be,
I'll give you a quick explanation:
The obsolete gasoline tank
will yield to a nice septic tank
And old drivers' seats
become toilet seats
so drivers can fill their own tanks.
Of course there's a need for improvement,
and clearly it's
in our behoovement
That models display
their mileage CAFE
at fifty-six miles to the movement !
For drivers a danger is plain:
To get extra mileage they'll strain
To them we'll repeat,
just be sure to eat
the foods with high fibre and
grain.

BBC report about scientists having discovered
how to convert human waste into fossil fuel and a 06-06-00

Tennessee tennants complaining about toilet backups in Gore's rental property;

Reform rope-a-dope; free speech on the ropes
(limericks)
Proponents of campaign "reform"
must think we were yesterday born.
We hear them insist
the laws that exist
have loopholes that must be reformed.
Whenever they pass more reform,
more business for lawyers
is born.
Already complex,
more laws just beget
more lawyers in charge of our horns !
Since campaign "reform" was divined,
involvement by voters declined !
The legalese text
became too complex
on when, where and how to opine !
So what do "reformers" now preach?
That
more laws will give us more speech !
But if that is done,
the lawyers become
the priests of political
speech !
So what's their proposal this time
to stop the corruption and crime?
Delimit debate
and just regulate
our property, money and time.

Reno's reprise: My agents said "Please"
when Elian Gonzales they seized (limericks)
When NBC's Tony Zumbado,
a cameraman full of bravado,
Was doing his best
to cover the quest
to capture Gonzales for Castro,
He entered the house of Gonzales
just seconds before Federallies.
Hoping to show
the way it would go,
he soon learned such effort was folly.
He witnessed the sights and the sounds
as into the house they did bound.
But just as he tried
to broadcast it live,
they cut-off his power and sound.
And now that he's read their description
of how they
conducted their mission,
He says that they lied
in claiming they tried
to calmly induce his submission.
He says when he tried to stand up,
they knocked him right back on his butt,
Like thugs in Havana,
they trampled his camera
and kept him from getting back
up!

The High-Tech Awakening (a limerick)
Dick Holbrooke just told the U-N
"Computers need women not men."
So software conventions,
unlike farm inventions,
will not enslave women for men.
If you think that this is bizarre,
your thinking just
ain't up to par.
So you must opine
that gals fell behind
'cause men surely had a head-start.
We must re-write hist'ry to better
accommodate feminist fretters:
When software took flight,
the men could touch-type,
but women were just hunt'n'peckers.

(Inspired by
a 06-07-00
Reuters/Excite news report that our UN Ambassador
Richard Holbrook told a UN conference that women need to take-over high-tech
industries so men can't use them to oppress women as he says was the case in the
agricultural revolution when new farming inventions enabled farmers to enslave
their wives.)

D-Day (a limerick)
The Sixth Day of June is a Day

for so many.

such terror and pain

What's Behind the Green Gore? (a
limerick "by" Al Gore)
Some bad news has come to the fore
disputing that I'm a Green Gore
But clearly it's false
to say it's my fault
or that I don't care for the poor.
My tenants have called me slum-Goring
and claim I invented slum-lording
They claim I don't care
and don't do repair
'cause rent-money I have been
hording
I swear that I just didn't know
that each time my tenants would "go,"
They suffered in slush
'cause after each flush,
the toilet would soon overflow.
And then as though that ain't enough,
the cleanup was always so tough,
'Cause when they got up
to clean up the muck,
they found that the sink had backed
up.
When E-P-A checked-out the lumps,
and OSHA examined their rumps,
The experts opined
that I should be fined
for causing such hazardous dumps.

Spending our wealth on our inner-selves (a limerick)
Al Gore says our nation of wealth
should cure us of bad mental health
and not charge a fee
to those with such needs
until they have no troubles left.
'Though he thinks we have enough wealth
to cure all that bad mental health.

himself.

A vict'ry for fathers in general ...
but not for one
ruled by a general (limericks)
Today's win for Miguel Gonzales ...
in one
way's a vic'try for fathers.
The ruling on Elian
helps fathers in general
and seems
to help Miguel Gonzales.
But under the laws of Fidel,
such rights are not treated
so well,
And realists know
as soon as Juan goes
to Cuba those rights are Fidel's.
That Juan won't or can't demand rights ...
is not the worst thing from this fight,
'Cause what is most sad
is Elian's dad wants
brainwashing for his young tyke.
With techniques overt and subliminal,
his brainwashing's
much more than minimal.
Surely by now,
he's had to learn how ...
to think his real mom was a criminal.
In olden days we'd not rejoice ...
at
finding we just had one choice:
To send a young lad
back home with a dad
who'd make him a brown-shirted voice.
