NARN Nursery Rhymes

Here are the nursery rhymes about the 2010 election that I read on NARN today:

Hickory Dickory Dock
Pelosi is on the clock
On November 2
His congress is through
Too bad the economy's shot

Little Tom Horner Ran for Governor
Another futile 3rd party try
Says he'll raise taxes some
He's like Dayton but less dumb
He says, "what a centrist am I!"

Twinkle Twinkle Oberstar
Money for bike paths not for car
Piles of cash from outsiders so high
Your the best that money can buy
Twinkle Twinkle Oberstar
Money for bike paths not for car
