The Palm Beach Pokey

I found this at MSNBC, but stories there typically disappear after a week, so I’m reposting it here. If you are the author or know who the author is please email me at [email protected]

That said, this is the best piece of humor I’ve seen yet about the Florida mess.

The Palm Beach Pokey

You put your stylus in,
You pull your stylus out,
You put your stylus in,
And you punch Buchanan out.
You do the Palm Beach Pokey
And you turn the count around,
That’s what it’s all about!

You put some Gore votes in,
You pull the Bush votes out,
You put some Gore votes in,
And you do another count.
You do the Palm Beach Pokey
And you turn the count around,
That’s what it’s all about!

You bring your lawyers in,
You drag the whole thing out,
You bring your lawyers in,
And you create lots of doubt.
You do the Palm Beach Pokey
And you turn the count around,
That’s what it’s all about!

You let your doctors spin,
You let the pundits spout,
You make the retirees sue,
And your people whine and pout.
You do the Palm Beach Pokey
And you turn the count around,
That’s what it’s all about!
