Limerick Ode To Lady-Filled Binders
The oddest line of last night’s presidential debate has to be Mitt Romney’s “binders full of women.”
Romney used that phrase when responding to a question about gender inequality in the workplace: He claimed that he’d proactively solicited such binders in order to staff his cabinet with women.
“…we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet.
“I went to a number of women’s groups and said, ‘Can you help us find folks,’ and they brought us whole binders full of women.”
Even if Mitt’s claim were true, which apparently it isn’t, this begs the question: Was Romney the Massachusetts Governor … or running an escort service?
Limerick Ode To Lady-Filled Binders
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Romney goes through his life wearing blinders
And surrounded by yes-men and minders.
I suppose this explains
Why Romney’s campaign’s
So proud of his women-filled binders.

I’m a kid from the fifties, you see.
Who matured around Seventy-three.
The women I know
Who had binders, would throw
Them in fires. ‘Twas fine fare for me. :)
Great limerick. You must come from a binder all its own :)
Mitt had a binder he frequently used
He recently got it completely confused
With another binder
A real woman finder
Ah, those were the days he sadly mused.
On Mitt… it was hard to get started.
Then, Gracie, our toy poodle, farted.
But this distraction
Prompted this action.
Joy….. when the challenger’s departed.
Thanks so much everyone for your fun verse and comments!
Mad, love this! Yes men and minders for sure :-)
Thanks, Sara!
