Limerick Friday LXXXXXIX: In With The New, Out With The … Jackass


Finally, good riddance to the Retard-in-Chief
After eight long years of making us say, "Good grief"
Put American lives at risk without a second thought
Upon lies, appointments were made and wars were fought
No more stupid looks and mispronunciations, what a freaking relief

Another wide receiver acting like a diva bitch
His team won, but he didn't care a stitch
Instead he whined on his team's final drive
While without him the offense did thrive
You'd fit in Detroit -- a loser, but rich

13 Oscar nominations for Mr. Benjamin Button
The cast celebrated with a dinner of wine and mutton
A cool flick with a heart, that combination can't fail
A tribute to New Orleans wrapped around a great tale
Nearly three hours, but for that punishment I am a glutton

The Triangle woke up to discover a blanket of white
Classes cancelled, businesses closed, what a fright
Didn't last long, as temperatures climbed the meter
But long enough to empty the bread aisle at Harris Teeter
Jackasses took to the road, making I-440 quite a sight

Shocking headlines from the scientific space
It seems pollution can quicken death's pace
So the environment is a big deal after all?
Will Congress heed this helpful warning call?
Clean air is good? That can't be the case

Hope returned to America on one fine day
How welcome I just don't have the words to say
For eight years, our leader caused pain and fear in the night
And yet now we can finally walk boldly out into that light
The road is long, but for one day we held cynicism at bay

Last time ...
