On the road to a tea party

FOX News flak sheep
D'ya pull any wool
O'er eyes, o'er eyes?
Tea bags — full!
Some for the Palins,
Some for the Hucks,
And some for the FOX 'n Friends who
Think Obama sucks.

(A poem about cars, Driving My Audie,

To drive my Audie [my speedster's nickname]
Is sweet dessert that tops off a dull day.
I take my Audie for a spin. My heart's aflame.
"Keep me well-lubed," his manual would say.
His rounded rear bumper up to his fore,
His sleek and smooth exterior kept buff,
Eagerly greets me opening his door:
"Please, drive me hard until you've had enough."
His engine revs up; I'm ready to roll.
I lay rubber, stick-shifting low to high.
Exhilarating speed: food for the soul.
Going fast, going slow, 'til end draws nigh.
I spurt to the finish, my head is spun.
To a stop, Audie sputters—one last gasp.
His engine cools down, piston-action done.
I release his shift stick from my firm clasp.
    "Adios," he says, "my driver most fond."
    "Vaya con Speedos, amor," I respond.
