It's now "Trick or
Treat" by Political Geeks
(limerick 20001031-01)
Tonight we will hear "Trick or Treat"
from goblins in all of our streets,
but what instills fear
is tricks that we hear

People Who Need People or
People Who Knead People
(limerick 20001030-01)
In paeans to Clinton and Gore,
interpreting Streissand's a chore.
The language she sings
is called Clintonese
which makes understanding a chore.
Says
Streissand, the expert on People,
"The best are the ones who need people."
Such words are ironic
because in Clinphonics
it means the best people knead people.
© 2000 --Inspired by
observation of people who knead people.

A mem'ry that's often quite keen
among folks who've played on a team
is mates who are lazy
still want to be playing
and don't care what's best for the team.
They're
like voters still undecided,
who don't think that they should be chided
for not having stayed
informed all the way,
but yet want their votes to be prided.

A front-cover tease with head-room
to please
(limerick 20001027-01)
When Esquire, a cultural fixture,
asked Bill for a story and picture
he quickly agreed
because of his need
to be a historical figure.
In Esquire's photography room,
the artist put Bill on a stool
and told him to stay,
then moved far away
to get the best shot with a zoom.
"For women to read what you'll tell 'em
and make sure this picture will sell 'em,
more head-room we need,"
so Clinton with glee
put hands on his knees and then spread 'em.

Avoid O-B Docs who
turn-back the clock
(limerick 20001026-01)
In olden days most obstetricians
insisted on spousal division:
When labor began,
they chased-out the man,
and that was a silly tradition.
Our first
child was born long ago
when dads couldn't watch it unfold.
When labor began
they told me to scram
to let my wife do it alone.
I'm glad they abandoned that rule
in time for our child number two
and honored my right
to stay with my wife
while she performed Miracle Two.
Experience
is the best teacher,
and watching a beautiful creature
give birth to a child
just proves by a mile
that gals ain't the sex that is weaker.
Such practice brought parents together.
And what made it even more special?
When docs gave consent
to film the event
for mem'ries of something so special.
But now a
disturbing new trend
demands that this practice should end
'cause some doctors fear
a film might reveal
malpractice --i.e., medi-sin.
To stop this all parents-to-be
should say to their doctors-to-be,
"If you are afraid
for film to be made
we'll have to change doctors, you see?"

Fox News report that an increasing number of obstetricians are now refusing
to allow cameras in the delivery room. Will they next refuse to allow the
fathers to be in the delivery room? Of all our family's material
possessions, the two most treasured ones are the movies of our first son a few
minutes after he and my wife emerged from the delivery room and the movies of
our second son in the delivery room seconds after he took his first breath.

The cause of
"green-house"? It's Alpha Gore's mouth!
(limerick 20001025-01)
When Gore says there's now a green-house,
of one thing there's simply no doubt:
We know the best source
of warming, of course,
is hot-air from Alpha Gore's mouth.
© 2000 --Inspired by the

The A's and the B's demand what they please,
but progress is made by the C's. (limerick 20001023-01)
Said Buckley, a sage among sages,
"Who's best on our leadership stages?
Not Harvard/Yale blokes
but common-sense folks
picked randomly from the white-pages."
The Left thinks it's best to be ruled
by top-grads from Ivy-League Schools
and those who received
their gentlemen's "C"s
are nothing but legacy-fools.
They paint all opponents the same
by saying they lack enough brains
to know how to lead
the people in need,
whose brains they consider quite lame.
Elitists said Ike did'nt
"read,"
that Ford had less brains than we need,
and also called Ron
a simple moron,
and call George a dumb-guy indeed.
To me it remains such a myst'ry
just why they cannot learn from hist'ry
and still ridicule
those common-sense "fools"
who managed somehow to make hist'ry.
The folks who said Ron's brain was
small
were quick to just laugh and guffaw
especially when
he said in Berlin
to Gorbechev, "Tear down this wall."
Those same folks were also aghast
and claimed he'd returned to the past
the time that he said
when speaking of Reds,
"The Soviet Empire won't last."
They called him a man of the past
and made him the butt of their laughs,
but when the Wall fell,
then Empire as well,
I'm thankful he had the last laugh.
© 2000 --Inspired by my recollection of a
long-ago comment by William F. Buckley, Jr., the gist of which was that he would
prefer to be governed by people randomly selected from the telephone-book white
pages than by the faculties of Harvard and Yale. Except for that rare
group of intellectuals who authored our Constitution to simultaneously grant and
restrain governmental power, too many intellectuals are arrogant enough to
believe their superior intellects empower (indeed, obligate) them to decide how
other people should lead their lives. In contrast, the common-sense folks
who abound in the white pages have enough wisdom to know that they lack the
wisdom to run other peoples' lives. Too many intellectuals mistakenly
believe that intellectualism and leadership are synonymous and fail to
understand that great leadership requires keen insight into matters of common
sense-- a skill amply demonstrated by the Founding Fathers and numerous great,
and genuinely intellectual leaders.

Alpha-Gore's lock-box proposal ...
Keeps taxpayers at his disposal (limerick 20001022-01)
Al Gore says his lock-box will stop
all Social-Security hocks,
but his plan retains
the keys to the chains
in government's hands-- does it not?
It ain't rocket-science to see
why Gore touts his plan with such glee:
The Alpha Gore plan
quite simply demands
the locks be on you and on me.

It's proper and fit for wives to submit!
(limerick 20001020-01)
Remember ex-President Carter?
He used-to think Baptists were smarter,
but now he decries
what they say to wives
implying that husbands are smarter.
He listens to Rosalyn Carter
who tells him that women are smarter
but both misconstrue
what Baptist wives do:
They really ain't dumber; they're smarter.
The last Southern Baptist convention
said wives must submit to their husbands,
but all of those wives
already comply
'cause what they submit are instructions.
© 2000 --Inspired by a 10-20-00
CNN report that Jimmy Carter severed his ties with the Southern Baptist
Convention because it adopted resolutions opposing women as ministers and
asserting that wives must "submit" to their husbands. I don't

instructions at the beginning of each day and especially on the weekends.

(limerick 20001019-01)
Bill said that he's no longer reticent
to say in the South white, male protestants
conspired with some preachers
to find some impeachers
and that shows impeachment was partisan.
The press should now ask Alpha Gore
what he thinks of this Clinton lore
to spread some more lies
to now demonize
those southern while male protest-ors.

Take Me into the Poll Game (Y2K version) (tune
of Take Me Out to the Ball Game)
I missed Ninety-Nine's Series, I
stayed out of the crowd
It was a sweep by the Yanks, you know
Now I'm sad that I chose not to go
'Twas a sweep, sweep, sweep by the home team
Put Atlanta to shame
For it's one, two, three 't'was a sweep in the
Series Games
Sub-way series for this year, Yankees
versus the Mets
I've always been a big Yankee fan,
Ricky's always said he's a Mets fan
So its hoot, hoot, hoot at the Mets fans
If we don't win it's a shame
For it's one, two, three strikes he's out in the
sub--way game.
I have always loved Yank-eees, not to mention the Mets
Baseball is one of my fav'rite games
Cause you can steal without feeling ashamed
So it's steal, steal, steal for my own team
If I get caught it's a shame
For it's one, two, three files I've hid in the old
campaign
I'm ahead in the Poll Game, I'm in
touch with the crowd
Bought me a house with some funds from hacks
They don't care if I never pay back
So it's root, root, root against Riiick-eee
If I don't win it's a shame
For it's one, two,
three strikes he's out in the old poll game
Rick-ee walked into my space, told me that I should sign
That is no way to treat such such a nice girl
He is just the most rude in the world
So I whimper like a hurt woman
Claim that he should fee shame
Then I'm in his face and he's out of the old Poll
Game.
I just love the Big Apple, I'm the
toast of the town
Moynihan gave me luke-warm support
He'll soon learn that I'm not a good sport
So it's hoot, hoot, hoot at ole Pat-rick
He's the one that I'll blame
For it's one, two, three times he messed-up my
whole campaign
Make me cookies from web sites criticizing my views
Give them to hackers in my campaign
Find the names of whoever complains
So it's hack, hack, hack for my campaign
Send a virus or two
For it's one, two, three hacks, they're out, then
we'll drink champagne
Get those files from the White House,
Get them for my campaign
Ken Starr is gone so we're safe from jail
All those files will be good for black-mail
So it's threat, threat, threat for coercion
Send a picture or two,
For it's one, two, three pics, you're out of the
whole campaign
Don't give money to Riiick-eee, Give those millions to me
I'm a celeb and I need the bread
I don't dare to let Rick get ahead
So its give, give, give to my campaign
If I lose I'll be rich
Only one, two, three million bucks are just not
enough
I'm well liked as a victim, please feel
sorry for me
I'm just campaigning as therapy
Cattle futures won't do it for me
So just give, give, give me your money
Then just please vote me in
then I'll have your money and I will be free from

A Birthday Limerick to my Uncle Jack
(20001017-02)
My uncle named Jack's quite a guy.
He's sixty plus five and plus five.
He always will heed
a friend who's in need,
which makes him a quite special guy.
Most husbands have one common flaw:
They often displease mom-in-law,
But Jack's an exception
who shows great devotion
to Mae, who's his mother-in-law.
Her age is one hundred plus one
and he's always been like a son
and treated her as
the mom he once had,
so she is a quite lucky one.
Today, too few dads are like Jack,
who raised his kids on the right track
by spending his time
in their younger lives
to give needed pats on the back.
And Jack, like his wife, my aunt Frances
has never pretended he's fancy.
A down-to-earth guy,
he earnestly tries
to treat all his friends just like fam'ly
Of course, as a Dad he was dandy
to Beverly, Ricky and Nancy,
and now that they're grown
with kids of their own,
he's also a super granddaddy.
And though he's become an old Geezer
He still chases Frances to seize-her.
And when she is seized
he asks her to please
pluck hair from his ears with some tweezers.
Love, Jim, your knuckleheaded nephew

The movie, Contender
contends it's best to deny and pretend (limerick)
The movie, Contender, contends
a candidate's sexual sins
should be out of bounds
for media hounds
so good folks will campaign again.
At first-blush this seems to be fair,
and most folks agree "Don't go there."
We all fear confession
of private transgression
when our better sense was impaired.
But this shows Contender is wrong
to say such exposure is wrong.
The public won't know,
but blackmailers know
just who can be bought for "no-song."
A person convinced that he must
campaign for positions of trust
owes it to us
to blush if he must
'cause that's how to guarantee trust.
© 2000 --Inspired by publicity about
Hollywood's apparent need to accelerate release of Contender before the
coming election to convey the message that it's wrong for politicians to be held
accountable for private, sexual transgressions. However, to ask whether
it's wrong to subject a candidate or public official the humiliation of such
public disclosure is to pose a more fundamental question: Is it in
the public interest to entrust governmental power to someone amenable to
blackmail by his/her fear of public disclosure of a past transgression?
Would the refusal of other politicians and the media to accord any dignity to
any such allegation render that politician immune from blackmail? Wouldn't
Clinton have gone (indeed, didn't he go) to the same lengths to prevent someone
from privately telling his family about his "affair" with Monica as
the lengths to which he went to prevent public disclosure of such
"affair"? It may be unfair, but those who seek the public trust
in order to wield governmental power (they always call it "public
service") owe it to be public to minimize their vulnerability to
blackmail. If one's prior conduct renders one vulnerable to blackmail,
then one should not seek public office without being willing to endure the
humiliation of public exposure of such transgression. Why do some consider
it noble rather than self-serving, reckless and violative of the public trust
for a person vulnerable to blackmail to seek to acquire and wield governmental
power?

The unabridged list of Alpha-Gore myths or
The what's and the why's of Alpha-Gore lies: 2nd Edition
(limerick)
For my first debate against Bushie
advisors had said "Don't be pushy,'
and said I should try
to stop telling lies,
and just try to be goody-goody.
They said when I got on the stage
class-warfare is what I should wage
but I couldn't hide
my need to tell lies
'cause that's how class-warfare is waged.
When Dubya gave FEMA high marks
in battling those high-water marks,
In order to share
such kudos for care,
I claimed I was there at the start.
Because he's a mean so-and-so
Bush later said I didn't go.
Reporters asked Witt
then made me admit
the story I told wasn't so.
To show I'm a man with great verve
and how with great foresight I serve
I claimed I had joined
in decisions to form
our country's strategic reserve.
Of course, I hoped none would perceive
that happened in Seventy-Three--
two years before
as Congressman Gore
I entered the House in DeeCee.
To show my ideas are the "bestest"
I talked about poor Kailey Ellis
not having a desk
to help her do best
and called her school worse than the rest.
Then someone who knew what was there
described what I said as hot air!
She first had to stand
'cause one-hundred-grand
in unpacked equipment was there!
Now critics point-out that my plans
for Skinner, collector of cans
took so little time,
but tenants of mine
sat long on their overflowed cans.

Eleventh Hour Citizenship (limerick)
To those who just watched the debate
to learn about issues I say:
You injure us all
by waiting 'til Fall
'cause your votes determine our fate.
Like last-minute crammers for tests,
you think you can quickly learn best.
That's why I'm confessing
I find it depressing
that your votes will count with the rest.
© 2000 --Inspired by the depressing
thought at the end of the 10-03-00 debate between Gore and Bush that a large
percentage of people watching the debate did not yet know enough about the
relative positions of the two candidates and parties to already know how they
will vote and that their votes might well be influenced by a merely theatrical
or stylistic mistake or "accomplishment" during the course of the
debate.

Scalia (tune of "Maria" from West
Side Story)
Sca-li-a ... I've just angered Justice Sca-li-a.
He said I'm out of bounds; quite angry at my sounds ... is he
Sca-li-a, when he's loud you can feel the ground shaking
When he's quiet, there's no need for praying
Sca-li-a, I must make amends with
Sca-li-a.
Sca-li-a ... I called him a
greedy Sca-li-a
What put him on the skids? Tuition for nine kids ...
not free
Sca-li-a, he's so broke that he needs better paying
And for raises he's not alone praying
Sca-li-a, he needs more for little Sca-li-as.
Sca-li-a, I'm sorry I picked on Sca-li-a
My words were out of bounds, I hope he'll stop his frowns ...
at me
Sca-li-a, pay him more so the ground will stop shaking
Pay him more 'cause end's-meat he ain't making
Sca-li-a, we must give a raise to Sca-li-a.

report on 10-02-00 about Justice Scalia's letter excoriating Tony Mauro for
inaccurately reporting that a desire for judges to receive larger honoraria was
the basis for Scalia's support for a proposal for Congress to raise the
outside-income limit for federal judges.

Political Lap Dancing. (limerick)
The champion of pass-the-hat dancing
got something for which he's been angling:
His Library fund
got big money from
the man who invented lap dancing.
© 2000 --Inspired by reports about the
inventor of lap-dancing being a major contributor to the Clinton Library.
