Haiku Elegies to '08 Presidential Hopefuls
Since we may seal the deal either tomorrow or March 4, I offer a haiku salute to the once-crowded field, red and blue, that gave us months of suspense and entertainment.. For your enjoyment, each is accompanied by a much younger photo of the candidate.
Democrats:
Obama:"Rohrshack Test or dream?
Bright light, the road not taken?
Time to take it now?"
Hillary:"Brave and battle-scarred;
Merit's often not enough,
Tireless lady may learn"
Edwards:"Shiny hair, sharp wife;
populist one-note banter;
leave stage? I think not..."
Republicans:
McCain:
"His endearing trait:
likes to piss his allies off...;
still, sits on right wing"
Huckabee:
"Folksy like a fox;
will God's righteous servant chase
votes? or VP slot?"
Romney:
"Money can't buy love,
votes, delegates, or respect;
lesson: be yourself"
Giuliani:
"Two years buzz for naught;
Bad match? Plain as nose on face!
Large, unnoticed nose..."
