Huckabee

Tuesday, 8th January 2008

An American friend, who is - clearly - no fan of Mike Huckabee, composed these lyrics, to the tune of Yesterday. My friend asked to remain anonymous; I'll just say that s/he worked in the Reagan administration.

Huckabee.
You found a rapist, and you set him free. 
Then he went off upon a killing spree. 
Was that your fault, Mike Huckabee?
 
Huckabee.
You’ve read the Psalms, 
But not the NIE. 
You’ve got no monkeys in your family tree. 
Just Adam and Eve, Mike Huckabee.
 
When your cellphone rings,
It says “God”
On the caller ID,
On His speed dial list,
Number one is Huckabee.
 
Huckabee.
You’re not half the size you used to be. 
But if you become the nominee, 
Will you be dead weight, Mike Huckabee?
