Dickfest Poetry Contest Winners!

ok Im stealing this straight from FDL or FireDog Lake for those not in the loop. They had a poetry contest for best poem about the Cheney shooting. Some really funny stuff, so here is the top three.

Because Meteor Blades suggested it, and because it damned near killed me to declare a winner, we are also announcing the runner ups.The bronze medal goes to:
The Ballad of Swagger and Scowler
They came from Wyoming and Texas, addicted to
power and drink;
They bullied and lied, they tortured and spied till most folks
were too scared to blink;
But when Scowl shot a hunter he thought was a bird and
Swag let New Orleans drown,
Folks finally saw what these guys really were: a crusty old
coot and a clown.

In second place, and by only the smallest fraction (one vote), our silver medalist is:
An accident it must have been,
And not a planned attack
Because Dick shot him in the face
Instead of in the back.

by rageneau

And the gold goes to:
If epitaphs were polygraphs,
This, terse and edifying,
Would crown the veep in final sleep:
Here lies Big Time--still lying.
