Bye Michele, you were our prom pick
If jokes are bombs then you’re atomic
Goodbye to ya
Said Iowa
It’s left us short a major comic
Michele your routine’s are outrageous
You should play the world’s great stages
Palladiums
And stadiums
Then a year or two in Vegas
Glad to see your sidekick Perry
Will go on that’s very very
Good, he’ll shine
In South Caroline
His pratfalls are all legendary
Too bad – you and Rick were money
Loads of laffs both gaffs and punn-y
Now you’re gone
But Rick goes on
We have your faith he’ll bring the funny
Still Michele we’re broken hearted
Such great laughs have now departed
What a clown
But you fell down
Oy – Miss America has farted
Now Fox TV will come a-courting
(They like jokes in their “reporting”)
Oh Michele
You’ll do real well
We foresee some coffee snorting
So you and Marcus take some time
Shop for dresses – dance and and dine
We’ll be here
When you reappear
To make us spit-take our wine

And how you aren’t providing color commentary on a network is beyond me.
Great stuff!

His satire often leaves a sting behind
He sees through politics with clarity
His comments range from seriousness to hilarity
He is most interestingly, one of a kind

In Iowa all we have heard
Is political theater of the absurd.
Bachmann, Santorum and Perry,
The more the merry.
But the voters chose a rich turd.
Keep up the fight!

Posted by barkinginthedark | January 5, 2012, 5:20 amAgree with She Speaks. On the bright side, as so lyrically pointed out by you Tony, we still have Perry.
Sadly we also have Santorum.
The only reason that jackass had such a good showing is because he said nothing in the week prior to indicate the severity of his brain damage and organic craziness.
I predict he won’t get a nod from anyone, not to mention the GOP. I base this on his prior bizarre Michelle-Perry public comments.
Exxxxcellent -again my best Mr. Burns imitation-
Thank you Tony! Great ballad
