Potent Political Pottage a la Shakespeare

Stewing Brew: A Macbethian Melange

or

Pelosi's Pot-au-Pooh-Poohers

by Elaine Magliaro

Round about the cauldron go:
In the pompous lard butt throw.
Rush the bilious radio host—
That’s what needs to cook the most.
In the brimstone broth immersed—
Limbaugh, Limbaugh! Be he first.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire blaze and cauldron bubble.
Kidney of E. Cantor stew
In the cauldron. Boil and brew:
Eye of Newt and nose of Steele,
Foot of Bachmann—toes and heel,
Malkins' tongue and Coulter’s snort,
Boehner’s bellybutton wart.
For a charm of potent trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double GOP trouble:
The party’s one big heap of rubble—
A fate that doesn’t seem so tragic
To conjurers of liberal magic.
