Gasbag: A Limbaughrhyme



GASBAG

OxyContin
Pudding and pie
Rush popped five pills
And went sky high.

He floated
In the stratosphere
Like the Goodyear blimp,
A gaseous sermoneer,

An incendiary
Doctrinaire
Spouting racist talk—
And full of hot air!

  1. Rush is the subject of another poem of yours, isn't he? I have enjoyed my visits to your blog. Thank you.

  3. Susan,

    Rush is such an easy--and big--target. He provides so much fodder for my rhyming rants that I can't resist writing about him.


    Mary Lee,

    He IS full of gas--and incendiary rhetoric. I can only listen to him for a few minutes at a time.
