Must-Not-See TV

March 9, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

It’s an idea I’m really not sold on,
Besides, Katie Couric already did one.
I’ll skip The Early Show
‘Cause I don’t need to know
The inside of Harry Smith’s colon.

Oscar Ennui

March 8, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

While watching the academy awards,
The elegantly coiffed beaux and broads,
I wasn’t excited,
Or thrilled or delighted.
I was just so incredibly — bored.

Oh, the Inevitability!

March 5, 2010 Buck Banks

The 49th state soon we’ll see
Featured on a reality TV.
The ratings won’t fail ’em
‘Cause they’ve got a Palin —
Que Sarah, Sarah, what will be will be.

Charles, the Ethically Challenged

March 4, 2010 Buck Banks

Now the ethics committee’s left Rangel
At the end of his rope there to dangle.
It gets really complicated
When your conscience gets sublimated,
And your ethics get all in a tangle.

Some Fun at the Summit

February 25, 2010 Buck Banks

Though for Republicans “No!” is the norm,
And backing Barack is bad form,
Let’s hold a summit
And thoroughly gum it,
And get us some health care reform.

Who the Hell Is That?

February 23, 2010February 23, 2010 Buck Banks

He’s not nearly as cool as Coolio,
And not as Hispanic as Julio.
But when tasked at the CPACs
George Bush had to ask,
“Who the hell is Marco Rubio?”

The Question Tiger Woods Won’t Answer

February 19, 2010February 22, 2010 Buck Banks

It’s not a question of could he.
It’s not a question of should he.
For inquiring minds,
There’s one thing to find:
Just how much wood could Tiger Woods chop if Tiger Woods got a woody?

Nobody Saw It Coming

February 16, 2010February 18, 2010 Buck Banks

He’s a soft-spoken Midwestern guy,
Who gave Senatoring a try.
But this Indiana’s son
Just found it too partisan,
So he quit, that’s it, bye-bye, Bayh!

Crib Notes of History

February 11, 2010February 12, 2010 Buck Banks

Some presidents are really quite grand,
We had one who drew a line in the sand.
We don’t want a president
Who’s demur or too hesitant,
But do we want one who writes on her hand?

Keynotin’ Palin

February 6, 2010February 6, 2010 Buck Banks

She wants to sound like she matters,
Amid the political chatter.
So that’s why she’s talkin’
And fancy pageant walkin’ —
‘Cause Sarah’s the Tea Party’s Mad Hatter.

The Q Abides
Buck Banks | Mar. 26, 2021

The fact is that QAnon is far from gone,
And don’t let its believers put you on.
Their sly denials
And wiley smiles,
Are code that Q’s conspirators doth carry on.
