A Peel at Todd Palin's Alaska
Posted: October 5, 2008
Why the First Dude is having second thoughts…
The First Dude of Alaska knows
the longings of the Eskimos
to feel fur parkas rim his face
and tundra 'tween his toes.
Ask Todd about the Iron Dog,
the North Slope and Iditarod.
Ask him about the musk ox herds
and arctic caribou.
He understands the salmon runs,
his float plane and his grizzly guns.
He comprehends McKinley's charm
and tracks an eagle's flight.
Beneath the dancing Northern Lights,
Todd Palin proudly claims his rights
as royalty in The Great Land.
He's Prince of Sourdoughs.
He'll pale in contrast to the crowd
if Sarah wins and it gets loud.
The First Dude won't feel much at home
in Washington DC
He'd rather scratch mosquito bites
on long Alaska summer nights.
In fact he wants Barack to win
so he won't have to move.
