Reid v. Romney (Limerick)

I’m pleased that Harry Reid’s doubled down on his claim that Mitt Romney may not have paid taxes for ten years. And I agree with Nancy Pelosi: If Reid says he has a good source on this, Reid has a good source on this. Unlike Mitt Romney, Reid isn’t a liar.

Instead of making assertions about what’s in his tax returns, Romney needs to follow custom and release his returns. If Romney’s lying about his tax returns now, it wouldn’t be the first time: He was caught lying about his tax returns back in 2002 regarding the critical issue of residency.

Reid v. Romney (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane

I’m glad that Reid’s on the attack
And is giving Mitt Romney some flak.
I just wish Harry Reid
In the Senate would lead
With a similar street-fighting knack.

UPDATE: Here’s a second limerick related to this topic:

Harry Reid is not up for election,
So his jab in Mitt Romney’s direction
Is fail-safe of course:
If Reid’s wrong, then his source
Just misled him. Reid’s plan is perfection.

    Mitt Romney will soon pick a VEEP.
    The Palinesque process, quite deep.
    Be it Rob, Tim, or Bobby,
    Pleasing that Olde White Man Lobby,
    This tandem will help voters sleep.

    Reid is Right as Rain …and Willard is all Wet.
    ‘Cause Americans have a RIGHT to see the tax returns
    of anyone who wants to be their President!
    NO if’s, …No and’s, ….and NO big fat butt’s about it!
    Confession is good for the soul Mitt….. assuming you have one.
    So Relax, Repent, and Release your Returns, Mr. Romney …OR…
    just go back to playing with your pet dancing ponies.
    No problem. We’ll understand. Unless …perhaps ….just perhaps
    …you’re HIDING something, dear Willard? Just asking.
    P.S. By the way, Mr. Mitt: just how DID you manage to stuff all those millions into your
    tax-loophole IRA account?… while the REST of us poor smucks have strict limits?
    Inquiring minds want to know.
    And you want even MORE tax cuts for you and your rich buddies, Mitt? 
    WHAT GALL! These fat cats aren’t satisfied – they want it ALL …EVERYTHING!!
    But tell me Mitt, just how MANY cars and houses can you hog?
    And just how MANY silver spoons can you stuff into your smirking mouth?
    Mitt baby, you can fool some of the people some of the time,
     but -please-  take my advice: IF you just want to run for dog-catcher
    then KEEP your  precious tax returns, and clean off your car roof. 
    OTHERWISE, if you wanna be our President, THEN PUT UP,
    …or shut up and go away ….preferably BEFORE the convention.
    The super-rich think that they have the God-given right to do anything
    they want in this great country -while the REST of us get screwed!
    ENOUGH!!! The divine right of kings ended a long long time ago Mitt.
    And so should your sorry excuse for a candidacy.
    Nothing personal, guy. Really.
    Rich, arrogant, power-hungry Republicans are people too!
    It’s just their “culture” that bothers me I guess. …..As you are so fond of saying.

    So glad that Mad states her belief
    by writing with comic relief
    Mitt for president?
    Of ‘the’ one percent?
    BAD CHOICE for Commander in Chief!
