Has two candidates left who’ve set precedent.
One’s a woman, the other a black man.
For more than a year they ran and ran.
And they’re still running, which makes the super delegates hesitant.

My dad would write the letters ‘CA.’
The word they stood for, he could not say.
His life was prolonged by insert of a stent,
To drain the poisons within him, which would not relent.
It’s been almost nine years since he passed away.

When rhyming one must give up all pretense of taste.
Sounds alike rules, putting good ideas to waste.
The trick in doing this type of word play,
Is ensuring the reader reacts, “On, nay!”
Which is why limericks like these are written in haste.

Web 2.0, whether blog or YouTube video,
It’s empowerment galore so we can all say so.
Voicing opinions and commenting on others,
Whether of strangers’ thoughts or of in-laws who are brothers.
It’s about exchanging ideas rather than making dough.

Dr. Suess taught us with a cat in a hat.
And green eggs and ham and all the rest of that.
For kids learning language with a picture and a rhyme,
It works very well most of the time.
But for adults perhaps it turns a bit flat.

The need to rhyme shows I’m deranged.
But each of us have aspects that are strange.
Surely its better in it to take delight,
Than use it to give others out of their wits fright.
Which is why my theme song is “groan on the range.”
