Duke Beaufort Poet Limerick

Ode To Bobby Pickett

They did the mash—they did the monster mash
In a field—in a field of trash
Republicans ain’t cool
Stink like a graveyard ghoul
One sick group—that we need to smash
 

Author's note:  The limerick above can be recited to the rhythm of the Pickett hit song. I am supporting Bernie Sanders and hope he picks Elizabeth Warren for a running mate.  The rest are fiends and zombies!  This is not a joke.

Debbie Duncan April 21, 2017 at 5:48 PM Well, I did like Monster Mash :) Duke Beaufort April 22, 2017 at 5:54 PM It was refreshingly strange. One of the strange creations of the time.

Duke Beaufort October 10, 2015 at 1:32 PM I usually don't get excited about any of this, but there is finally someone I almost completely agree with, and he is reliable and true. Have a great week end and enjoy all the beauty we are exposed to.

Andrea Dietrich October 10, 2015 at 10:28 AM hahaha, I was singing in my mind along to that famous song!! I'm with you on this one. Some of the sweetest people have been taken in by this group of monsters! (so glad I finally found a poem of yours I had not seen yet) Duke Beaufort October 10, 2015 at 2:25 PM See my reply above. Placed in wrong box since I must have been day-dreaming.

Laura Breidenthal August 6, 2015 at 7:34 PM This one's very creative Duke. I'm very much impressed, though I know very little about politics and such things. I do know the monster mash song though, and this is clever as you always are. You are a thoughtful, observant writer, which I will always admire about you. Always, Laura Duke Beaufort October 10, 2015 at 1:30 PM Laura--I missed this comment. I am fine. Just using your verses as inspiration to deal with my own mental battles. The nice thing is that it is working. Always trying to turn lemons into lemonade.

Kp Nunez July 31, 2015 at 8:45 AM I can feel the beat of your limerick//seems there's so much there one can't just lick //should you need to relax//take a rest from the tax//you can live in these islands on a Buick! Hi Duke! Just want to make you smile. hugs! Duke Beaufort October 10, 2015 at 1:29 PM You always do! I apologize for not seeing this sooner. I sometimes get confused, but not about what a star you are!

Debbie Duncan July 24, 2015 at 2:12 AM Well this is well said, or should say written. Love the song as well :) Duke Beaufort July 24, 2015 at 5:52 AM Debbie, I just can't get over how awful they are. We are going over to someone's house next week who is hosting a tv special message from Bernie Sanders since we like him so much. Hey, I see you added some work on your page. Let me go have a look see. You are the essence of sweet! It's funny how the creativity comes and goes at times. Talk to you soon.

Skat A July 19, 2015 at 5:25 PM enjoyed this limerick Duke Beaufort July 20, 2015 at 7:30 AM Skat, what a shame that the field of candidates on one side are such a ship of fools!! What would happen if one of them actually makes it?
