Dedicated readers: An old poem, I like it.


He finally lost his speakership Alas he couldn’t play the game

His party caused the fatal slip But how do you pronounce his name?


There’s nobody meaner than Speaker John Boehner


His favorite place was at the bar or at his favorite tanning room

But orange skin went much too far Perhaps that finally spelled his doom


A voice like a tenor that Speaker John Boehner


He caused the government to fail But he lost each and every vote

The reason he got so much mail “We can’t pronounce your name,” they wrote


Now he’s a goner that Speaker John Boehner


He couldn’t lead his right wing flank He faltered with Obamacare

He took his party in the tank And now he’s left the speaker’s chair


His tan had too much toner that Speaker John Boehner


Planned Parenthood he hoped to cut He promised to slash every buck

He proved to be a right wing nut And with that name he’s out of luck


He’s just a slow learner that Speaker John Boehner


He sobbed a lot but that repelled a crowd who said “Undignified”

Though bawl he did his hairspray held Who is that man who always cried?


This one’s a no brainer Adios Speaker Boehner
