Some Political Clerihews

Amy Klobuchar
hoped her low-key, quiet ways would take her far,
but in launching her campaign she failed to note
there are just not enough librarians available to vote.

Elizabeth Warren
campaigned in the restaurant of a Salvadoran.
When she tasted a pupusa she said,
"Why, this is just like my mother's Cherokee fry bread."

Bernie Sanders
gets uneasy whenever he spots chameleons and salamanders.
He yells and waves his hands above his head
because he knows if they get near him they'll turn red.

Beto O'Rourke
decided to uncork
some Spanish instead of an answer, so
he replied, "Gargarizo con el queso."

Senator Cory Booker
is more than a side-looker.
After all, as he told us,
he is Spartacus.

Vermin Supreme
awoke from a bad dream.
In it, Democratic candidates at a joint ceremony
promised everyone a free pony.

Kirsten Gillibrand
was building a castle in the sand,
but whenever the winds would shift,
her sand would drift.

Pete Buttigieg
sought to give his slim electoral hopes a nudge.
Hence
his gratuitous attack on Vice President Mike Pence.

Kamala Harris
didn't mean to embarrass,
but her family's reaction to her Jamaican drug joke
suggests her presidential campaign might just go up in smoke.

Donald Trump
called his critic a chump.
Actually, he used some more colorful words,
but so far has avoided flipping birds.

Nancy Pelosi
is fond of the Ed Wood films of Bela Lugosi.
Behind closed doors she has a thing
for loudly declaring, "Pull the string!"

Representative Adam Schiff
gets wide-eyed when he gets a whiff
of deceit and deception, though events have shown

he's oblivious to his own.
