UPDATE: AND THE WINNER IS…
Congratulations to Mic Tienken for this winning entry:
There once was a cowboy named Reid
Who’s nanny state filled every need
Till they ran out of money
And it wasn’t too funny
When he found out that rocks just don’t bleed
Our odds of surviving this fiscal crisis are lower than a snake’s belly in a wagon rut (nice western imagery, huh?), but Harry Reid can’t find a single thing to cut from the federal budget. Not even funding for a cowboy poetry festival in Elko, Nevada.
So in honor of the Nevada Democrat and the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, we want you to put on your ten-gallon thinking caps and write a Harry Reid Cowboy Limerick.
Rules: All limericks must include some reference to both Harry and cowboys. Leave your entries in the comments section. Deadline for entries is midnight PST, Sunday, March 13. Winner gets an IHateTheMedia.com T-shirt or coffee mug.
Here’s one to get you pointed in the right direction, buckeroo.
There once was a man from Nevada
Who said that we should cut nada
“The budget is fine
Let’s let cowboys rhyme
And spend the whole enchilada”

Please note the remarkable maturity we showed in not pointing out the stupidity of Harry’s words in the above video clip.
