Sarah On A Leash

Well, isn’t she?

Why not?

Suppressed.

Muzzled at the mouth by a “chastity belt."

Robotized.

Taught to heel and speak when ordered.

Brought out to parade and prance when called.

Is this not sexism at its worst?

Prithee, I beg you, do come and present your arguments to the contrary.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Hallo! Hallo! This does speaketh of a poem, forsooth to say...

Harken! The words, alas, they flow like oil through an Alaskan pipeline. Forthwith, speaketh or forever hold your tongue, knave!

Johnny had a little dog,
Little dog,
Little dog,
Johnny had a little dog,
Her fur was dark as night.

Everywhere that Johnny went,
Johnny went,
Johnny went,
Everywhere that Johnny went,
The dog was sure to light

Forsooth, come and present your arguments, your songs, your poetry, whatever, to the contrary, alight and enlighten us, Readers!

"Don't Cry For Us, Sarah Palin" Sung by Her Children

(With apologies to Andrew Lloyd Webber and "Don't Cry for Me Argentina")

Don't cry for us Sarah Palin
The truth is you often left us
All through our wild days
Your mad existence
You made us promise
To keep our distance

It won't be easy
You'll think it strange
When we try to explain how we feel
That we still need your presence
After all that we've done
You won't believe us
All you will see
Is the child you once knew
Before you left us
For a new addresstus

Don't cry for us Sarah Palin

You had to let it happen
You had to change
Couldn't stay all your life here with us
Looking out at the mooses
While we're running looses
So you chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed you at all
Not Cindy's dress or her shoe

As for your fortune and fame
We never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all you desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions
They promise to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for us Sarah Palin
The truth is you often left us
All through our wild days
Your mad existence
You made us promise
To keep our distance

Have we said too much?
There's nothing more we can think of to say to you
But all you have to do
Is look at us to know
That every word is true
