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.
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.
If was a very tough decision, because there were so many really great entries. We finally narrowed it down to 17 finalists and argued back-and-forth for hours before coming up with the final Top 10.
Here, without further delay and in no particular order, are the “Top 10 Limericks for the Next 1,361 Days.”

A mandate the Dems thought he’d get
More liberal than center, you bet
But we never knew
How badly He’d do
While piling up trillions in debt

Our president knows how to parse
Golden words into nebulous farce
But he makes the crowds swoon
And sing along with his tune
‘Cuz the media kisses his arse.

If there’s one thing Obama knows
It’s that Gitmo prison must close.
But the only hitch
In making this pitch
Is where do we lock up our foes?

The Dems have made it their mission
To stamp out all opposition
They loudly proclaim
It’s Bush you should blame!
Let’s have us a full inquisition.

We all know that he was the One
The man with the post partisan pun
But congressional leaders
Turned true disbelievers
When he told them: It’s my way. “I won.”

If Biden was from Nantucket
He’d carry his hair in a bucket
He’d trap in his pail
Each strand that did fail
Instead he got plugs and said ‘what the hay!’

He promised us change and we got it
Though not quite the way that we thought it
To his left he owes debt
To his right, deep regret
And our kids will be broke cause we bought it.

Around the TV we all gather
We’re watching nonsensical blather
They’re in bed with Barack
It is all such a crock
I think I am missing Dan Rather

There once was a man named Obama
Who climbed out the vagine of his Mama
Hawaii or Kenya?
We’ll n’er know cuz Whenya
Ask all about it, there’s drama!
Submitted by rddionne
I’d like to hear from Barack
What he’d do in case of attack
No pandering words
For placating herds
I just want to know he’d fight back
And finally, here’s one honorable mention. It doesn’t get a prize, but it got a big laugh from all of us here at IHateTheMedia.com:

There once was a man from Nantucket
OBAMA SUCKS!
(Sorry, I’ve just never been good at rhyming)
The website says, “The day before the inauguration we sent out a call to poets we admire to write poems that respond, however loosely, to the presidency, the nation, the government or the current political climate. More than one hundred American poets responded immediately. The first 100 poets were each assigned one of President Obama’s first hundred days in office, and each will write a poem reflecting on the state of the nation and the world on that day. A new poem is posted every day.” Continue reading ““Limericks for the Next 1,361 Days” Contest”
