A November 2012 Rhyme: How Rich Is Mitt Romney?

Oh boy, it's been months since Lim or Mr. A. Cat asked me to type here a limerick or rhyme for you! But who can boss around cats, right? Here's lovely Zasha, the Russian Blue, to say, don't bother trying to herd us into anything we don't want to do!

So, the uptick is that I've had to become inspired myself and Election Day November 6, 2012 (tomorrow!) is the muse:

How rich is Mitt Romney

how high is the sky

how deep are the oceans

how apple the pie?

How mean is the bully

how stealthy the thief

how cruel a plutocrat

bringing us grief?

How psycho the pathic's

political ploys

how damaging partisans

making such noise?

How gullible voters

how fake a campaign

how antique a platform

for their Crazy Train?

It will be very interesting to me to see how the Mainstream Media spins their own reporting over the next few weeks if Mitt Romney, bolstered by Karl Rove's cheating tactics galore and some squirrelly voting machines, allegedly 'wins' tomorrow's election. My suspicion is that the MSM's 2012 narrative may make the knots it tied itself into over "hanging chads" and the Supreme Court's vote-counting interference in December 2000--in order to hand the presidency to George Bush--look like child's play.

Now as you probably know, Mercury, planet of voting, votes, ballots, decisions, communications and such performs a Station Retrograde tomorrow around 6:00 pm ET which bodes ill for quick results--if not presidentially, then the outcomes of some House and Senate races may be tied up for weeks until mid-December.

Another curious astrological factor about tomorrow is that the Election 2012 Moon (Moon = We-the-People in Mundane or Political Astrology) is void of course and you may wish to check out the situation on my Political Astrology blog Stars Over Washington where you'll find no awful political rhymes to annoy you, I promise!

Well, at least not at the moment...

Jude Cowell's '2012 GOP Candidates' Poetry Round-Up

Here's the lovely Zasha waiting patiently in her favorite window for Santa to arrive! She does look a little ticked though, doesn't she? ;p

Well, she couldn't be as ticked as the American people who've been swamped by months of Republican debates on TV (or what passes for debates these days) with a gigantic field of candidates clamoring for the RNC 2012 presidential nomination. It's been quite a fatiguing onslaught, hasn't it?

Then there's the constant atmosphere of gridlock and my-way-or-the-highway attitudes made special by the Tea Party congressmembers who simply adore shutting down the government to make a point and whose party insists on forcing austerity measures upon the Americans who can least afford the cuts while the rich and favored take all the goodies Washington can dish out.

Well, around here, defensive action had to be taken so in no particular order, I've created a mildly mocking limerick for each candidate--those who are still standing, those who have dearly departed...and one who may represent a GOP dream come true for warring neocons!

Forgotten is slick Herman Cain
so eager to mount his campaign
but ladies did cry
your hand on my thigh
makes White House pretentions insane.


A Perry dilemma occurred
he couldn't remember the third
his future now droops
because of an Oops
no longer his favorite word.


Young Rick Don't You Google Santorum
was seen several times in a forum
not much does he say
few turns come his way
those prez dreams he may as well store 'em.


In China Jon Huntsman was king
he spoke like they speak in Beijing
but chit chat aside
a nominee's ride
must soar like an eagle on wing.


Michele courts the church-going vote
dominionists in a big boat
her eyes on the prize
can sure hypnotize
fun gaffes but that's all that she wrote.


A president Mitt would be weird
like Abraham Lincoln sans beard
this one percent shill
gold coffers to fill
the rest of us sheep staying sheared.


Newt's launch to the stars went kaput
can't seem not to shoot self in foot
force poor kids to clean
sounds scrooge-like and mean
beware rug rats covered in soot.


You noticed Ron Paul runs again
it does no one good to pretend
kids like him a lot
no drug war on pot
and perchance the Fed meets its end.


If Jeb Bush jumps into the race
to help GOPers save face
would people be glad
he'd rule like his dad
while keeping that globalist pace?

And in case you're an American who's as frustrated with the anti-government, self-destructive style of Capitol Hill politics now being practiced as I am, here's a closing 'bonus' rhyme of a significantly groanworthy nature which hopefully isn't as annoying as Washington politicians:


For office you voted a goon
who jets off to France every June
he feasts on your dime
while dealing in slime
his ear to your needs unattuned.

And that's my overview of Washington DC, my former residence, for December 2011. May the year 2012 not be as bad for the world as everyone expects! Jude

Did you know there's a drive to rid the US of the corporate-infused Citizens United SCOTUS decision of 2010? Actually, Thom Hartmann talks a lot about it so you may wish to allow him to inform you on the topic.

Thom and others are planning to take part in an Occupy the Supreme Court and federal courts action across the land to mark the second anniversary on January 20, 2012 of Citizens United--as I believe dissenting Americans who love their country should!

See the Poor Republicans ~ a poem

Shhh! Grace is still recuperating from last week's election madness. Like TV's Craig Ferguson, she had a bad case of Election Fever which turned into a vicious case of Election Infection.

A few extra hours of shut-eye should put her to rights!

Meanwhile, Lim just rushed into the room with a communique from Mr.A.Cat - a poem. Unusual, since Mr.A. seldom abandons limerick form, but here it is...I promised it would be typed up for you before the evening passed away...

See the poor Republicans
sulking in a pile
guess they won't be ruling much
maybe for a while
grabbing headlines with a whine
smearing while they pout
eight years' worth of sorriness
gave them quite a rout.

With Obama on the case
middle class may gain
U.S.A. fed up to here
GOP shall wane
Dems will guide the ship for now
we'll see how it goes
one thing different from oh-one
th' emperor has clothes.

Mr.A.Cat, Esq. 11.11.08

Dumbleheaded Democrats?

After publishing this political rhyme on my Pages at Gather I'm relenting to Lim's pressure to add it to his collection here:


Dumbledheaded Democrats
full of venom having spats
campaign stretching on too long
uglies pretty weakens strong
if they take a hint from me
rise above the GOP
delegates participate
Michigan and Florida state
What would turn and save the day?
millionaires decide to pay!


-jc (based on MI and FL not wanting to pay for do-over Dem primaries--NPR reported this morning that millionaires could decide to step up to the do-over plate.)

GOP kitten snarls for new candidate

Well, this must be a GOP kitten--look at that snarl just thinking that the 2008 election field is closed with only Romney, Guiliani, and McCain for their consideration! But every political cat'n'kitty knows it's early days yet!

So who's the progressive-thinking, articulate, hero-lovin' Republican who has the drive and full-on personality to win the presidency in '08...in spite of his romantic ways?

Mr.A.Cat phoned in his best answer this morning:


There once was a kitten from Bute
who thought Dickie Cheney was cute
but skull'n'bones said
the US is dead
now bring us a fresh eye of Newt.


Mr.A.Cat


For some natal chart details on Mr. G, find your way to Stars Over Washington but I'll warn you--Mr. G's exact birth time is unverified--yet with the Moon in Sagittarius during the whole 24-hour period (June 17, 1943), his Sun Gemini/Moon Sag blend is still quite revealing...see if you agree.

Mr.A.Cat recommends it meowfully!
