Limerick o' the Day - I

I don't know why this is, but recently I've become engrossed with Limericks. Did you know there's a whole Wikipedia page on "There was once was a man from Nantucket ..."

According to it, one of the oldest versions of that limerick went like this:

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

I thought I would start getting into the limerick-writing act. In fact, I think I'm going to make it my goal to write one limerick per day through the election. So, without further ado, here's my first limerick:

Tonight John McCain will be speaking,
but his talking points don't need much leaking:
"Sarah Palin is great,
"Ignore Troopergate,
"And will the press please stop their critiquing?"

Anyone think I can keep this going? Two more months ... dang, that's 60 limericks. Hmmm ... I'll be lucky if I can last till this time next week.
