Limerick Ode To Marco Rubio
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) gave a speech today at the Brookings Institution. His appearance featured this amusing gaffe:
“I left my last page of the speech, does anyone have my last page? Did I Ieave it with you?”
Now such a slip-up wouldn’t ordinarily be limerick-worthy. However, Rubio seems to have a “glass house” problem:
Rubio calls President Obama “the most articulate and talented teleprompter reader in America,” a line that drew big laughter and applause in East Manatee.
Limerick Ode To Marco Rubio
By Madeleine Begun Kane
How ironic that Rubio’s known
To have thrown a speech-mockery stone
At Barack. It’s self-bruising
And rather amusing
When Rubio screws up his own.

Ah, dear Marco: You see now, alas,
What they say about houses of glass,
When that stone you have flung
Caroms back on YOUR tongue,
And then knocks you down flat on your *ss!
How ironic that Rubio is known
As a man of big tales he has sewn
His family comes from Cuba you see
But just exactly when did they flew
Is a subject he may come to bemoan.
Thanks for your clever limericks Nan and John!
