Old Johnny was trailin

His message was failin

Yes, it looks like Barack in a rout

And then entered Palin

The end of smooth sailin

HIS slam dunk again is in doubt

Well he summoned Plugs Biden

The re-tread beside HIM

A united, formidable team

They were cocky and cool

They'll defeat the old fool

And they'll forge the Obama regime

Twas a four day convention

This could seal HIS election

Hill and Bill even feigned their support

Spoke the soaring Apollo

Doting minions would follow

Evil right-wing agenda to thwart

Neath the Styrofoam columns

HE was stirring, oft solemn

A utopian theme: hope and change

HE'll renew our ascent

Soak the top 5 percent

Now their wallets are well within range

With HIS multi-point bounce

Weakened rival to trounce

The Messiah smelled blood in the water

A renewed head of steam

And collectivist dream

Soon McCain as a sheep to the slaughter

Like a fresh Huey Long

Mesmerizing the throng

Yes, a chicken shall grace every kettle

HE shall exorcize greed

HE shall sate every need

No mere mortal may challenge HIS mettle

Soon the planet will heal

On one knee shall we kneel

Genuflect to HIS gift of persuasion

Through HIS grace and aplomb

Oceans ebb, seas will calm

And all conflicts shall end through assuasion

But the storm clouds would gather

The left in a lather

Could HIS mo quickly turn on a dime?

This Alaskan, this tart

Shes a stinkin upstart!

At once fill every bucket with slime!

Shes a mother of five

We must eat her alive

And portray her as merely a token

Shes a weak neophyte

Evangelical blight

We must parse every word she has spoken

From on high lefties trumpet:

Sarahs daughters a strumpet

Daily Kos: Shes a mother already!

From these merchants of smear

Wafts a strong stench of fear

Oh, their once vice-like grip now unsteady

A proponent of pork

And her hubbys a dork

Aye, he serves at the whim of Big Oil

While shes skinning a moose

Claim official abuse

In corruption and graft shes embroiled

Well shes out on the stump

With a bible to thump

Shes a Fundie right down to the core

Shes a snake-handlin wench

Holy water to quench

Did I mention her daughters a whore?

Now dispatch the attorneys

We require at least thirty

To scour every inch of her home

You must pack up a shovel

We're diggin for trouble

In Kodiak, Fairbanks and Nome

Now spew forth Trooper-Gate!!

Shell be crushed by the weight

Of this grave and egregious scandal

But she fired the bum

Cause he tasered his son

Now she's dishin back all they can handle

Wednesday night she arrived

And the faithful went wild

As she wowed them with passion and vision

Olbermann unimpressed

He and Matthews expressed

Their disdain, their contempt and derision

Popularity grows

And America knows

That this meteors in it for keeps

Ketchikan to Bermuda

Greet this tough barracuda

She may very well be your next Veep

So the game it is on

Welcome Sarah and John

There'll be much consternation and wailin

Come November we’ll know

Who could withstand the blows

And we’ll welcome Vice President Palin
