The Two Dicks, an Ode to Tea Parties


Dick Armey and Dick Cheney

Laid a towel along the shore

They each took handfuls of figurines

and placed them on the floor

The two Dicks arranged them in a merry pretty manner

On either side two toothpicks stretched a painted canvas banner

Dick Armey used a sable brush to paint the banner white

Dick Cheney sneered that Mission Accomplished wasn't right

And so with enamel polish of the brightest red

Dick Armey scrawled Tea Party and Cheney unveiled the bread

He broke off a piece and rubbed it in his hands

then sprinkled all the crumbs across the surrounding sands

The Two Dicks compared collections

which they brought from their house

Cheney's were all Yankee north

Armey's were rebel south

Cheney brought Limbaugh with a headset and cigar

along with blue and yellow pills

in a miniature glass jar

Armey brought Newt Gingrich along with his three wives

There were other ladie dollies present that all the righties prized

There was Coulter, there was Ingraham,

There was Palin and Malkin

But all Dick Armey brought was Kay Bailey Hutchison

The dolls were all assembled in varied pretty poses

The two Dicks acted out the part of Aaron and Moses

They lamented and protested ACORN and the poor

who through perfidy and laziness laid more taxes at their door

ACORN and the poor elected a black muslim

to pay for their mortgages with Euro socalism

They're all crooks and swindlers and minorities besides

who want to drown the whites in debt's rising tide

The dollies and the bread crumbs atrracted a small group

Of pelicans with Ron Paul signs wearing hats that said POOP

A flock of seagulls landed in white pointed hoods

And bearded crab bank financiers shouted "Greed is Good!"

Holy rolling oysters spread collection plates

To bring the donations back to parishioners in red states

There were birthers along with PUMAs, objectivists and truthers,

Libertarians secessionists and Bill O'Reilly's loofa

The two Dicks toasted to their marvelous achievement

The trap they laid had worked as they precisely conceived it

They each drew shotguns and fired them away

The two Dicks bagged enough grub to last until election day.

Is it just me or is that Civony ad a little... weird? I am reminded of those old Japanese made dirty computer card games where you played Go Fish until a softcore pixelated geisha appeared with bits of "satin" covering up her naughty bits.

Between the erecting buildings, the scantily clad female whose face is cut in half, and the use of "My Lord" in a web advertisement, I feel dirty.

It's just you.

Two by Three Dicks, No Tea

An army or a chainy
Seem repressive both
The one I miss is DickDay
‘Cause he never ceases growth!

And when the night comes calling
And I’m sitting all alone
The company that I prefer
Is one who takes me home…

Your limerick is way better than my doggerel. I both bow and scrape.

I loved your ode! And humor is contagious. Just having fun playing off of yours…

I really wonder why these guys still get away with all this double-talk for the birds. And people still eat it up. Thanks for the GREAT poem and I hearby award you the Daily Award (well somebody’s got to do it and I’m not really qualified, but!) for:

The dollies and the bread crumbs

WOW! Thanks so much!

I had to mention POOP hats. The tin ear of the current astroturf conservatism is most evident there... who in their right mind (forgive the pun) would wear a hat that says POOP?! AS A FORM OF PROTEST?!

Rounds of applause, for Zipperupus and Stratofrog. Bravo!

Is it just me, or did these protests get more air time then the numerous larger protests of similar interstate significance? I am curious to know how many are estimated to have attended across the nation and then compare it to say the Million Man March. It just seems to me we had much larger numbers during Bush that went woefully underreported.
