The Dike
With Hillary and Bill Clinton
(Two egocentric peas in politics' clammy pod
Growing on a kudzulike vine
Blocking out Barack Obama's sunshine
And ravaging a party already being boll-weeviled
By racists, swiftboaters, feminists),
Their tantrums and spoil-sport, sore-loser recriminations
Savaging the Democrats' November chances
To put ten fingers and toes in the U.S.'s Swiss-cheese dike,
Keep all the planet's snarling, swelling seas
From inundating us, feeding our carcasses to the sharks...
With Hillary and Bill Clinton
Still operating in public privacy, at full-guillotine tilt,
The GOP's leading pit bull, John McCain,
Doesn't need any additional powder for his blunderbuss.
He can continue to pelt, perforate, the airwaves,
With caustic, blistering, bloodying negative ads
Starring Obama's distaff abominator from the primaries,
Using her words, not his own, to castigate, shame,
Cause voters to doubt, fear, the (uppity?) upstart,
Driving home that what America needs are four more years
Of the Flying Dutchman economy ramming the dike.
