The Lyrics

In time for Halloween, a truly scary subject. I was in a reasonable, rationally drawn, regularly shaped congressional district until former coke addict and then president pro-tem of the CA state Senate John Burton, Don Perata,* now president pro-tem, and the rest of the CA Democratic Mafia made an offer to their counterparts in the Republican Cosa Nostra, who couldn't refuse. They mutually redrew this and other districts in a way that would make Elbridge Gerry** proud, thus changing my representative in the House from Ellen Tauscher to Richard Pombo (R-CA, 11th Congressional district). Pombo, from Tracy, CA (nowhere near me geographically or politically) is an oily, creepy crook (one of Jack Abramoff's bagmen) and an environmental troglodyte. In the best fox-guarding-the-henhouse tradition, Pombo chairs the House Resources Committee. Gerrymandering virtually ensures perpetual incumbency, but because of amply demonstrated Republican incompetence, criminality, and pedophilia, Pombo's tenure is threatened.

Eleventh's ape, P-U! Real stench.
His name "gerrymandered": Poo BM.
Guy's a scary stooge, a skim-the-dough whore,
Hails from Tracy, which ain't right next door.
'cause of Burton's gerrymandering,
I'm "represented" by this dipsh*t, and
His name, changed by anagramizing
Is more aptly Poo BM.

Wretched turd; name makes two words.

Eleventh's fate is Poo BM,
Pombo anagramized: Poo BM.
He'd been voted in several times before,
Then his district encompassed my door.
Because of some gerrymandering
By cokey Burton and his crony clan,
I'm stuck with this jerk sleaze-pandering.
When name's changed it's Poo BM.

P-O-O B-M
Anagram of bagman's
Last name, Pombo, becomes Poo BM--
Then a most apt copronym.***

*Perata has been under investigation for years for various criminal activities. Charges have never stuck, earning him, along with Mafia capo John Gotti, the nickname "Teflon Don."
**Gerrymandering is a controversial form of redistricting in which electoral district or constituency boundaries are manipulated for an electoral advantage. The word "gerrymander" is named for the American politician Elbridge Gerry (1744 –1814), and is a combination of his name and the word "salamander," which was used to describe the appearance of a tortuous electoral district Gerry created in order to disadvantage his electoral opponents.
***copro-, a combining form meaning "dung"

Good job on the parody, but TOS is titled "I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am."

We resent your outrageously clever insinuations (but our 12-step program won't allow us to deny them)... so, Just Look For The Union Libel....

OW! Sorry to hear you got 'mandered into the Pombo-bowl...it still looks a bit uphill but from what I've read PERHAPS even the manipulated voter roster will decide to hit the "Flush" button this time around...one can only vote and hope, though, I guess...5's ~ ~ ~

Every politician in this country, Dimns and Puds, are crooks, pervs, spies, etc. The only difference in any of them is whether they have been caught yet. Love to see them all exposed....well, the female ones, anyway :) Good job on this A-hole, JB.
