THE DIVINE SARAH

THE DIVINE SARAH

THE ELECTIONS OF TWO THOUSAND-EIGHT
WERE COMPRISED OF A SPECTRUM-LIKE SLATE.
THERE WAS AGE, THERE WAS YOUTH.
THE URBANE, THE UNCOUTH
JOINED THE RACE TO REPLACE GEORGE THE GREAT.

I TRULY ADMIRED MC CAIN.
HE CAME THROUGH IT ALL WITHOUT STAIN.
HIS CHOICE OF THAT GAL IN
ALASKA, MS. PALIN,
ENSURED THAT NO CHOICE  WOULD REMAIN.

HE SAVED US FROM “PRESIDENT SARAH”
A FEMININE TYPE YOGI BERRA.
WITH HER KNOWLEDGE OF FOREIGN
WE’D BE HELD UP TO SCORN
FROM SPITZBERGEN SOUTH TO TIERRA.

ALAS, I HAVE ONE OF THOSE FEARS,
SHE MIGHT TRY AGAIN IN FOUR YEARS.
AND WITH HOURS TO BURN,
“GUNS AND LIPSTICK” MIGHT LEARN
THAT AFRICA’S NOT IN ALGIERS!
