Adios to Elian (a set of limericks) (du20000628-01)
    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.

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!

We seize you! .(a limerick) (du20000605-01)
    The agents who seized young Gonzales 
    have said it was no big tamale
    So gentle they were, 
    you heard the cat purr, 
    and everyone loved the finale.

A vict'ry for fathers in general ... but not for one ruled by a general (a limerick) (du20000601-01)
    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.

Announcement/Thank-You from creators of video parody of Elian's seizure::.(du20000519-01)
" Looks like we won! The AP officially said they will not come after us if we put the Elian video back up on our site, SO WE DID! We've also got some other new stuff going on there, so check it out at:  http://www.sixsite.com/bonrop. thanks again for the support! --sean & chris"
Reprise of our 2000-04-28-01 Daily Update mocking the AP & supporting the parody:
    APocrisy On Parade (AP Hypocrisy) (a limerick)
    The AP is eager to preach 
    the value of having free speech
    Except when a speaker 
    or parody tweaker 
    incorporates pics from AP
    One need not know science for rockets 
    to know the AP makes its profits
    Selling its pictures 
    of folks in dire strictures 
    without paying them any profits.
    So why should AP get upset 
    and recklessly make foolish threats
    at Lathrop and Bonner 
    whose parody genre 
    used pics of young Elian's "arrest"?
    If you want the AP to hear 
    your views then just simply click here**.
    They need to learn 
    they're way out of turn 
    instilling those comics with fear.
    And if you're inclined to support 
    good parody as a safe sport
    Tell Lathrop and Bonner, 
    "Continue your genre" 
    by mocking those dumb AP dorks  
© 2000  Inspired by the Associated Press's ridiculous reaction to Lathrop and Bonner using the AP's Elian-at-gunpoint picture to make a video parody of the scene., which they call "elian, true ... aka stormtroopers, true."  For more information about this controversy and to learn how/where to contact Lathrop and Bonner and/or the AP regarding this matter, click here.

Knock, knock.  Who's there? Reno!  Reno who?  
Renovate your house!. (limericks) (du20000426-01)
    From Thanksgiving Day Ninety-Nine 
    until the next April was fine
    For Castro to say, 
    "Miguel, stay away" 
    from going to see Elian
    When finally he let Juan come here, 
    we then heard the guy with the beard
    Suddenly say 
    there should be no delay 
    so Juan could stop shedding his tears
    Then twenty days later near dawn, 
    Ms. Reno conversed on the phone
    With friends she had asked 
    to help in the task 
    of bridging the gap for Elian
    And though Reno heard her friends say 
    "A deal is just minutes away,"
    She made the blooper 
    of sending storm troopers 
    to carry the poor kid away

What would a loving dad do? (a limerick)(du20000419-02)
    Since the court ruled late today, 
    we heard Juan Miguel's lawyer say
    It's terribly bad 
    for this loving dad 
    to wait for his son one more day.
    As one who's a dad I must say, 
    I don't understand the dad's ways
    'Cause if I were Juan 
    I'd have long ago gone 
    to comfort my son right away

What's best for Elian:  Grief-counseling a must? 
or "Cuba or bust"? (a limerick du20000411-01)
    When kids see a death, you can trust ...  
    that libs say grief-couns'ling's a must
    But for the boy found 
    who saw his mom drown, 
    they only say "Cuba or bust."

Updated Broadway play soon to become a big hit in Cuba:  
My Fair Elian (du20000410-01)
    Fidel:  The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain
    Elian:  The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain
    Fidel:   I think he's got it!  By Che, he's got it!

    Fidel:  Your rel-a-tives in Flor-i-da are pi-igs!
    Elian:  My rel-a-tives in Flor-i-da are pi-igs
    Fidel:   I think he's got it!  By Che, he's got it!

    Fidel:  Your mo-ther was a crim-i-nal to flee-ee!
    Elian:  My mo-ther was a crim-i-nal to flee-ee!
    Fidel:   I think he's got it!  By Che, he's got it!

A rhyming wish for Elian and his dad, 
stepmother and half-brother (a limerick du20000406-02)
    The folks who are rooting for Elian 
    are hoping his Dad seeks asylum
    His Daddy is here 
    but seems full of fear, 
    which we hope he'll soon overcome

Waiting for Gonzales. (a limerick) (du20000404-10)
    Last year on Thanksgiving Day, 
    the father of Elian did say
    Without any fear 
    to relatives here,  
    take care of young Elian, okay?
    But then Cuba's tyrant demanded 
    that back to him Elian be handed.
    The relatives here, 
    who sensed the dad's fear, 
    rejected what Castro demanded.
    So now we are waiting to see 
    if Elian's dad can be free
    To say what is best 
    without fear of threats 
    from Castro's self-serving decrees.

Prominent law-breaker urges others -- 
Obey law re Elian Gonzales. (du20000329-01)
    To those helping Elian Gonzales, 
    Bill Clinton proclaimed, "Don't be lawless."
    Of course that is right, 
    but in his own plight, 
    he knowingly testified falsely

Elian's Father Still Hiding Behind Grandmas' Dresses (du 2000-01-26)
    On Elian, O'Reilly is right 
    to offer his father a flight.
    As soon as he could, 
    a good father would
    come here notwithstanding his fright

Granny Behaves Like a Brother (Big Brother) (du 2000-01-25)
    I must say it boggles my mind 
    that grannies could spend all their time
    Setting conditions 
    belying their mission 
    to comfort young Elian's mind

What would a good daddy do? (du 2000-01-21)
    A good daddy's love for his son 
    is stronger than fear of a gun
    That's why it's sad 
    that Elian's dad 
    won't come here to pick up his son
    A good dad would get off his fanny, 
    but Elian's dad has sent Grannies
    And how did they act?  
    They met bureaucrats 
    instead of the boy in Miami

What would a good dad do? (du 2000-01-15)
    We all want the best for young Elian 
    whose mother has given him freedom.
    But how could his father 
    reject every offer 
    for him to come here for his son?
