HAIKUS FROM LILLIPUT

Newt Gingrich

Nutty Professor ` PhD, smartest guy in the room,
With a Tiffany smile Seeks tenure.
Swallows gall

Mitt Romney

Root beer, ginger snaps,                           Rich, but not too -
Sincere eyes, hearty handshake               Conservative, but of course
Watch your back                                        Whatever

Ron Paul

Penny candy, hot apple pie, cocaine               Liberty, common sense
What's not to like?                                           The Constitution
                                                                         Eyes wide shut

Rick Perry

The eyes of Texas                        Um, no, er, yes, well, oh like
Has two million jobs                      I think, maybe, if then,
At MacDonald's                            Oops!

Rick Santorum

Lop a mountain top                          Send your tired, your poor
See you in church                            Your wretched refuse
Frak you very much                          Need landfill

You are a poet and a comic, on top of all your other talents. Cheered me up after reading about the debates (which I can no longer watch).

Can't see
Can't pee

Being 90 years in this world, with great kids, great grandkids, great wives (two, one at a time) and great memories, I wonder why some people seem to have stopped loving the U.S.A.? I will wonder in print right here. If you wonder too, or can provide some answers, please comment.
