SEPTEMBER 6, 2007 --

The colors of our political maps
show Dems as blue and red the GOP
Clearly, alas, an illustrative lapse
of political party colors in history

Till now hasn't it always been said
that the people on the left are colored red;
while those on the right whom they attack,
as Stendhal made clear, are depicted as black?

Continue true party of red to be hysterical
depicting George W. as ditheringly rabid clerical
All in his cabiner now to be ousted
till, finally, from office even W is rousted

Senators Leahy and Schumer, Clinton -- Kennedy, too
Unleash your fury -- make Republicans rue
the day that they dared to seek public service
Behold, now, those wretches of black, forever nervous

See how quickly they prove this point
Republican senators so bent out of joint
Demanding that colleague Craig's exit is due
because of an occurrence in a Minneapolis airport loo

Addendum

When silent men tryst across partition unseen
Who plays the king; who plays the queen
And if one of the two is a policeman undercover
Should a tear be shed for the disappointed lover
Consider the official who just seeks befriending
When the man is a Republican, his career is soon ending
