The Princess Groom.
Leonard B. Stern, producer of “Get Smart” and creator of “Mad Libs”, passed away June 7, 2011. I was fortunately able to get hold of an advance copy of his NYTimes obituary.

This (is not) American Life did a podcast on my poem, Sarah Palin’s Ride!
Sarah Palin’s Ride
Listen my children and you shall hear
Of Palin’s version of Paul Revere;
On the Second of June, Two Thousand Eleven,
A fact emerged from Humor heaven:
“Revere was warning the British”? Oh Dear!
She travels the country in a tour bus,
Spotlight to spotlight, refusing to shelve;
Hoping the media will want to discuss,
A potential prez bid in Two Thousand Twelve
But Palin is wrong about so much,
Is that what gives her that common touch?
She claims to have the promise to lead
But doesn’t know which newspapers she reads;
If Palin were a band, she would be Creed.
In response to her gaffe on Paul Revere’s historic midnight ride, here is an ode to Ms. Sarah Palin. May the gaffes/material keep coming.

P.S. I will upload text and audio version of poem soon!
