On Arnie's first day on the job,
He smiled full of cheese at the mob.
"Oh really, you guys,
This is such a surprise!"
While the rest of the world looked agog.
--- Gina Peach

As you mocked us with great elan,
We put Arnold in charge of our plan.
Now the TAWDRY affair
Has completely laid bare
That your Gov is a girlie-man.
--- Phil Kinay

The office which Arnold had sought,
With Gray Davis coming to naught,
"Mid great public praise,
Like the Cedar Blaze,"
Elected by press JUGGERNAUT.
--- Chris Papa

Gubernatorial's hard to say.
I think Arnold will say it okay.
With his German accent,
All the sounds may be bent;
Grab her clitorial would be his way.
--- Tom Patton P0311

It was proved by polls taken by Roper,
No one thinks he's an alky or doper.
He likes women and girls
With straight hair or curls;
He's Arnold, the Austrian groper.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0412

In the spirit of Western Expansion,
Now Arnold's in the Governor's Mansion.
But his last name's so long
And the rhymes are all wrong,
That the limerick would lose all its scansion.
--- Anon

To get my campaign back on track,
I'm sorry for couth, that I lack.
With my sex appeal,
I must cop a feel.
So after I win, Ah'll be bahk.
--- Limerick Savant

There once was an actor Teutonic
Whose ego was quite supersonic.
He would compete
For the governor's seat.
His speeches at least are laconic.
--- Timothy Torkildson

His hummers he scores from Maria,
Who gets him off frequently via
Her succulent lips,
Which she deftly slips
Over Arnold's well-stuffed beef tortilla.
--- Anon

California, the state is grand.
We ousted that Gray Davis man.
Refined the past;
Freedom at last!
Now Mr Universe pushes his plan.
--- Anon

They called Arnold the Austrian Oak,
When he had Mr Universe hopes.
But if he's thinking of
Running for Calif gov,
You can call him the Austrian joke.
--- Dr Limerick 03-28-01

Our country has come very far,
When we find that a Hollywood star,
As a big candidate
With Merits first-rate,
As "Terminator" AVATAR.

A statesman in distant Djibouti,
While pursuing his national duty,
Discreetly pursued
And completely undood
A pretty East African cutie.

Czech-born Albright, oh say can you see,
Where next year you are likely to be.
Will you stay Sec. Of state
Till Bill shuts the gate?
Are you mulling Czech presidency?
--- Esther Koch

Havel's told you, he's wished it were so.
Your Czech vote valid still? Do you know?
Twice you fled homeland fray;
Lucky you, safe away;
Will you tempt fate again or say whoa?
--- Esther Koch

Milosevic, Yeltsin, and Bill
Have all been indicted, but will
Even one of these pricks,
Charged with something that sticks,
Be excluded from Joe's Bar and Grill?
--- Anon

A junta decided it rational
To take a few cues from a passional.
Granting amnesty to
All those prisoners who
Were attracting support international.
--- David Morin

When you Anglicize, don't go too far;
Keep appearances much as they are.
Don't wear without care
The St George's Cross where
Angry anglophobes might bomb your car.
--- David Morin

Do the Bosnian splattered in blood
Need our geo-political crud.
Self-righteous yet craven
We vow a "Safe Haven",
A ghetto, where death is aflood.
--- Birne P9406

In Kigali where justice is slain
And children scream out in their pain
Help foreigners hie,
Then turn a blind eye,
So that primitive slaughter can reign.
--- Birne P9406

If a crime is a crime is a crime
To be punished severely each time,
Is caning a Yank
And scarring a flank
An excess, without reason or rhyme?
--- Birne P9406

Is every friend to be sainted?
Is everyone else somehow tainted?
Can black be called white
And day renamed night?
Can myths be so simply repainted.
--- Birne P9406

Let victorious might rule the sky,
To dictate where Iraqis may fly.
Don't ask for their reason,
Declare "open season",
To be caught in the air is to die!
--- Birne P9406

Provide Comfort, with staff and with rod;
Dispense Justice with cursory nod.
But make a mistake
And Innocence take,
So we learn what it's like to play God.
--- Birne P9406

Banana-Republican brothers
Can always count on one another.
A nod and a wink
Are sufficient, I think,
To have infant domocracy smothered.
--- Dr Limerick

An eloquent young man named Demude
Said, "The family allowance is crude;
Every time a Quebecker
Whips out his old pecker,
Some taxpayer in Ontario gets screwed.

A useless old pol named of Bennett,
In sex-wasted years in the Senate,
Proposed just one bill,
Preventing Brazil
From selling us carloads of rennet.
--- Armand E Singer 379

Is Nicaragua's depiction
Of the Freedom Fighters fiction?
Running this by a few,
Half the lies were untrue.
C. I. Aid the Contra-diction.
--- Murky Ireland T9711

A president once, the poor beggar,
Went out for a coup with au rigor.
He returned from the coup
With his clothing askew
And a smile on the face of Noriega.
--- Arthur Deex P8911

Open trade with the Cong? Yep, that's right.
Befriend them with all of our might!
While our neighbor, Fidel,
Can just go to hell.
Trick question: Which one did we fight.
--- John Miller

Ah yes, I forgot JFK
Who left some good friends in a bay
And failed in his plot
To have Castro shot;
Since we goofed, Mr Castro must pay!
--- John Miller

Disagree, and we hate you, unless
You fight, then our love we profess.
Even Schroedinger's Cat
is no stranger than that;
Such logic's beyond me, I guess.
--- John Miller

In Brigade 2056 they say, "Hell!
Picking up senoritas is swell.
But the moment we dread
Is when they start to shed --
It reminds us too much of Fidel."
--- Arthur Deex

This is file val

A general once lived named de Gaulle,
Five hundred years old, ten feet tall.
He thought he was God,
Which was really quite odd,
For God's David Frost, after all.
--- Paul Bristow

Diplomacy's often complex,
And sometimes its doubletalk text
Must serve as a ruse,
In hopes to confuse
Fanatics who don't wish us best.
--- Anon

But sometimes we must speak our mind
In words that are clearly defined,
Which don't minimize
American lives,
To calm down fanatical minds.
--- Anon

My chair sports an antimacassar.
I learned about them while at Vassar.
Though now out of style,
They once earned a smile
From the likes of Gamal Abdel Nasser.
--- Mimi

I just returned from vacation;
Now I sit here in utter elation.
I got great head in Cuba,
Got laid in Aruba,
Now I'm Ambassador of Foreign Relations.

Four Men of the Year--I'm aghast!
Their aim--to make peace that will last.
When they meet, I surmise
They will unzip their flies,
And resume what they did in the past.
--- Al Chaplin P9402

A man from France, the other day,
Chastised the US to Tom Delay.
He then asked the man,
"Sir, do you speak German?"
"No". "You're welcome," and Tom walked away.
--- Al Bienstock

In '43, France's in a bind,
With Krauts ramming them from behind.
Now with gratitude,
France is being a prude.
What if the US had said, "Never mind!"
--- Frosty

If not for Marines and their Shermans,
All of France would still be full of Germans.
They say we've no class;
They can all kiss my ass,
Because they treat us like we're vermin.
--- Frosty

The French have always been fickle,
Sucking up to the Hammer and Sickle.
When shove comes to push,
They'll be there with Bush,
Or their oil will come in a trickle.
--- John Henry

When the EU meets once again,
They will all decry France's Le Pen.
But fuss as they ought,
They're just mad he got caught;
"We with Hitler would rise once again!"

There is an old friend, Juana Quinn,
Who said: "My, what a fix we are in!
When we go to war,
The French all get sore,
Because they don't think they can win."
--- William K Alsop Jr

There once was a French referendum
On Europe, and who should defend 'em.
United consensus
To break down old fences?
No, France, it would seem, wants to mend 'em.

There was a great German grammarian,
Whose grandmother wasn't an Aryan,
So his books have been burned
And his person interned,
And his doctrine denounced as barbarian.

Bundestag was corret, represent-
Ing the people of all Deutschenland
While the Rat represents
Only just Bundeslands
And is more legislatively bent.

The former provides for the pen-
Sion of importantly mindedly Men-
Schen, but the latter will make
Sure that for society's sake,
The whole thing is hushed up with no tension.
--- Danube

Should Americans, off to the polls,
Give kowtow to effete foreign trolls?
Those Canucks, Frogs, and Krauts,
Who're with Bush on the outs,
Would replace him with Liberal assholes.
--- Ward Hardman

Once we're gutted by Socialist elves,
Any scholar, who into this delves,
Will assert, "You were screwed,
Once you lost that Bush dude,"
So lets choose what's best for ourselves.
--- Ward Hardman

We Americans rightly are wary
Of replaceing George Bush with John Kerry.
You might think George perverse,
But the other's far worse,
And empowering him will be scary.
--- Ward Hardman

In the news, this a.m., a new premier,
As the result of a coup in Baremier,
Under strict house arrest,
Former "Friend of the West,"
But the new one is thought even scheme-ier.
--- J Maynard Kaplan

The dastardly fraud, Jaques Chirac,
Who scorned our appeal to attack,
His motive was oil
From 'neath Arab soil.
Now he'll get no more from Iraq.

Said Carter to __________, "My word,
It appears you've behaved like a turd.
But would you come to speak
To my Sunday School next week,
Since we're feathers right off the same bird."

--- Phil Cannibal P9501

Saw this girl at the Henley Regatta,
Enjoying champagne and a natter.
I said, "Pardon me,
Aren't you Rusty Lee?"
She said, "No, I am Jomo Kenyatta."

In Rwanda a government guy
Demonstrated their brand new war cry.
You could hear every word
Of a song you have heard;
As he sang, "Tut, Tut, Tutsi goodbye."
--- Tom Patton

It seems though you crave U coition,
You're gonna get some coalition.
Elections have brung
A bundestag hung,
Which may be the ideal position.

Yes, the big day is over and both
Our dear Angie and Gerd swear an oath
That they won. "German cri-
Sis now ends! None but I
Can do it." (For *their* purse this means growth.)

There was an old Mickey named Cassidy
Who was famed for impromptu mendacity.
When asked did he lie,
He replied, "To reply
Would be to impugn my veracity."

To combat the world as a team.
For Kim and Chirac

On an axis of low self-esteem.

With the pose of implacable fate,
Said, "Our triumph has been
To make a machine
To be worked by the will of the Great.

Now, TIME says that signing a truce
A Man-Of-The-Year should produce;
But is it so wise
To name four old guys?
I'd say they are playing it Luce.
--- Norm Storer P9402

Since four old men are losing virility,
They decide to abandon hostility.
With a bit of persuasion
They rise to the occasion,
Before they lose all their ability.
--- Nancy Henry-Kline P9402

In order to stem the drug flow,
A deal was made with Mexico.
But their drug czar's a crook,
A fact we overlooked.
Maybe someday we'll learn, but we're slow.
--- Jim Weaver Collection

When the Russians mailed us an epistle
That flew through the air with a whistle,
We waited in doubt
And suspense to find out
Was it missive or missal or missile? --

Was it miss-all or instant dismissal?
