With apologies to Richard Nixon, it occurs to us that we won't have Herschel Walker to kick around anymore. Or maybe it would be more apropos to say "punt around anymore." In any case, we figure we better run some of the Walker-inspired verse we got before it passes its expiration date (which is pretty much... today). Leading off is K.F. in Framingham, MA:
There once was a candidate Herschel
Seen in many a political commercial
The truth about Mr Walker
He's not a very good talker
And more than a little controversial
And a "back to basics" entry from D.L. in Oaxaca de Juárez, Mexico:
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Does Walker's head rattle?
I think it do.
Completing the hat trick is C.P. in Perry, ME:
There once was a guy called Tuberville.
Herschel Walker's candidacy gave him a thrill.
He said with a grin,
"If Herschel does win,
I'll be the second dumbest on the Hill."
Here is the e-mail address for submissions; we'll have more verse tomorrow, on... who knows what theme? (Z)
