Presidential Primary Season Haiku Commentary
Here’s a special original Campaign 2008 commentary in haiku form by TMV’s favorite witty poet, Michael Silverstein, aka Wall Street Poet.
Primary Season Haiku
By Michael Silverstein
Former president
Decides to support his wife
This is most prudent
Populist Edwards
Seeks to be the poor man’s friend
Poor choose other friend
Biden qualified
Richardson experienced
Neither has a prayer
Seeking real change
An angry electorate
Elects Bernie Sanders
Analysts ascribe
Huckabee’s loss at polls to
Atheist backlash
Des Moines Register
Picks Hillary and Oprah
Cancels subscription
Lieberman likely
Republican keynoter
Connecticut weeps
Voters now believe
That Gulianni backers
Are mostly legit
After denying
That he is a flip flopper
Mitt Romney recants
One Response to “Presidential Primary Season Haiku Commentary”
Suck it up, Connecticut! (Lamont voters excluded) It’s too late now!
How could so many of you be so dumb to fall for Lieberman’s lies during his campaign? Well, no matter. You’re stuck with him. Actually, we’re all stuck with him! For five years there will be a voice of treachery and war-supporting in the Senate instead of a voice of reason. No oversight, no campaigning for Democrats…sigh. I hope you’re happy!
