The poet William Stafford set himself the task of writing a poem a day. When someone asked him what he would do when his poem-of-the-day wasn't very good, he replied "I simply lower my standards." In order to increase output, the bar here is set at a low level - the point of this is to have some fun with current events and politics. I welcome contributions and comments. Now you can also follow Doggerelo on Twitter (@doggerelo). Because of continuing medical problems, I'm no longer able to post a poem-a-day. I'll continue to post poems, but at a reduced frequency, so please stay tuned.

Sarah's Makin' Stuff Up Again


On the Sean Hannity show (naturally), Sarah Palin claimed that Obama somehow wants to return to the pre-civil war era.  In her own unforgettable words, “ Well, what we can glean from this is an understanding of why we are all on the road that we are on and it's based on what went into his thinking, being surrounded by radicals. He is bringing us back Sean to days that... you can harken back to days before the Civil War, when unfortunately too many Americans mistakenly believed that not all men were created equal… What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin.”

We’ve not heard much lately from  Sarah
She’s been hiding behind her mascara.
What our first black Prez
Really wants is, she says,
To return to the civil war era.
