In Arizona did Kubla McCain

7 stately pleasure domes decree:
Where Abramoff and sleazebag lobbyists, ran
Through bribes measureless to a working man

                Among the elitist GOP.

He built one mansion in Sedona’s precious sands
With walls to hide Big Oil’s greedy hands:
And Wall Street cash flowed from gilded spigots;
While Kubla McCain dined with Swift Boat bigots

In Phoenix did Kubla McCain aquire more pleasure

Bought a mega-ranch with Cindy’s treasure
Where the Keating 5 would come to drink and dance

Among the pampered parasites of inheritance


Yes, pleasure domes did Kubla McCain collect

Not far from Warren Jeffs’ weird sect

In Scottsdale, Flagstaff and Cucamonga Junction

all stocked with pills for erectile dysfunction.

 

Then an American asked of Kubla McCain
(‘casuse Bush’s class warfare casued his country such pain):

“How many pleasure palaces, in fact, do you own,

While middle-class families work their fingers to the bone?”


”And are they all surrounded by by moat, sand or wall?”

But Kubla McCain stammered, “uh, well, I don’t recall...”

“A condo here, maybe a condo there...
but I’m a regular guy like you, I swear!”

 

The American replied, “I didn’t mean to cause you distress,

but I thought you rode the Straight Talk Express...?”

 

Said Kubla McCain, “I do!  I’m not lyin!  I feel your regular-guy pain!
And did you know Obama’s middle name is ‘Hussein’?”  Yes,

That boy is black, and his wife? Even blacker!
Rush Limbaugh once said that she called me a ‘cracker!’”

 

“I just asked how many houses,”  the American did insist

But follow-up questions get Kubla McCain pissed

“I don’t answer to you little people,”  he said, extra-riled

 While somewhere in hades, Leona Helmsley smiled.

Then Kubla McCain got grumpy when his pleasure domes made news
So he stomped marbled floors in his $500 shoes
”I know “ he fumed to his servants, “how to make this all stop”

“ I’ll announce another patented McCain Flip-Flop!”

“Broder will praise it, so will Brooks no matter what,
And there’s always Jeff Gannon (though he’s kind of a slut)
Yes, the MSM loves me, tho’ I’m a pompous right-wing prick...”
Then Joe Lieberman whispered “you mean ‘original maverick’”

 

But the pandering must wait, here in pleasure dome number 4

Kubla McCain walks through an imported arabesque door

To his private Olympic-size pool -a Mexican just skimmed it of slime

It is 2:35 --Kubla McCain’s Nap Time.

Kubla Cain keeps the rhythm. Otherwise, very fun.

Not bad! Not bad at all!

Here's a former English major who's liking a literate mocking political response!

Very fun! Brilliant even. Kubla Cain does scdan better, as Joe Petit said. Heck or even Jon McKhan. But very very clever.
