In celebration of the end of Michelle Bachmann's candidacy, I call upon my DU brethren and sistren to waft her on her way with a valedictory poem. Here's mine:

Haiku for Michelle Bachmann

In this contest of
the crazy, you were always
the batshittiest

Who claimed the Lord's hope she was totin'.
But try as she might
On caucuses' night
For her, no Iowans were votin'.

I wanted to do a limerick myself, but could not come up with enough rhymes for "batshit."

Your fake lashes that swat flies;
Can't compete with your venomous lies.
So long my dear;
You will soon be forgotten, never fear.

There once was a woman in congress
the thought of her brings me some huge stress
you look into her eyes
and you know she's not wise
yet she wanted to be Presidentress.

When it came to a grasp of our history
she was clueless and made up her own story
she had absolutely no clue
of what really was true
and today she went down with no glory.

Perhaps you were too wise and good
For citizens like these,
Or perhaps an insufficient number
Spoke fluent batshitese.

The Cat Lady's not quite as crazy as you!

Violets are blue, roses are red,
Your candidacy is better off dead!

There once was a gal named Michelle
Whose gaze was as vacant as hell
Claimed Obama's a commie
Yet was beaten by Romney
Now maybe her babbling she'll quell.

Your campaign is broke beyond all mending,
But don’t be sad that it’s all ending,
For now you’ve time to help market Marcus’s
Cure* for naughty boy-on-boy kisses.
*Patent (leather) pending.

That wild-eyed hysteric, Michelle,
Says that gays are all going to hell.
I find it ironic
That bigot iconic
Is certainly going as well!

Roses are red,
Though your campaign was failin',
I'd giving anything to see,
You make it with Palin.
