YOUNG BOBBY JINDAL by Dennis Doph

out there. 9

Young Bobby Jindal loped into the overstuffed room
In the overstuffed mansion just outside 'a Baton Rouge
He looked like a scared little Meiskeit there in the gloom
When in fact, he was the GOPster's favorite Baby Stooge
Yeah! Ready to declare retreat after smooth sailin'
Convincin' the randy citizenry of Louisiana
He was less than raw
Ready to stack himself up against Sarah Palin
To be the Great Mahogany Pie-in-the-Sky Hoohaw

So
He started in with all the old homilies and success stories
How he was a Bun in the Oven when they arrived from Far Bombay
Then proceeded to pile Whopper upon Whopper
So many Swear-to-Jesus lies
it would take your breath away
Told anecdotes about that Oh-So-Respected N'Awluns lawman
Whose racist leanings have always been misunderstood
Led us into a schmier of fantasy and Gee-Golly-Gosh
Why Louisiana has to turn down Stim Bucks for its own good

And while this Great Brown Hope was holding forth
Fetching truism after truism from this feeding bender
Most of us wondered:
How could the GOP pitch this dicey piece of horsemeat
In a land of Obama, Pelosi and any Clinton
How could this worm be a Contender?
But Shaky Quaky Little Bobby Jindal
Continued to inveigh and wring each long brown hand
And then, in a flurry of misplaced self-congratulation
Took his family and all his pals to Disneyland
