On this, the most poetic of blogs?  Granted, getting past the Code of Conduct on this one might seem like a challenge (and is).  But still ... couldn't resist giving it a shot.  Competition welcome.

There once was a Congressman Weiner;

At invective nobody was meaner.

But he lied about pics

That he Tweeted to chicks --

Now his prospects look quite a bit leaner.

A congressman's grey underpants

Have the media world in a trance?

It's distracting, pathetic,

Sordid and synthetic!

(Still: I couldn't help stealing a glance...)

Member Pious Agnostic wrote a double dactyl (which I have ever-so-slightly edited for rhythm). I think it's genius:

Wibbledy-Wobbledy
Anthony Weiner, an
Upstanding Democrat
Second to none.

He likes to chat with his
Fans on the Internet
Unceremoniously
Without his bun.

Well done.

Also see Iowahawk's "Weinermandius," which includes the line "Look on my junk, ye mighty, and despair!"

There was a Congressman on Twitter,

Whose actions set the media atwitter,

He posted pics of his junk,

When questioned he said it was bunk,

But he lied about what he did on Twitter.

Diane Ellis, Ed.

Of New York came a Congressman Weiner,

Whom Bill Whalen dubbed a lewd "Tweiner."

We know he lacks chest hair,

And sports gray underwear;

Should he resign, gov'ment will be cleaner.

There once was a man from New York / Whose urges he just couldn't cork / Though denial he tried /"You're finished!" we cried, / "it's high time to stick in the fork!"

The Weiner was known for being mean

And his phone calls and pics were obscene

Will he still keep his seat

Now we've all seen his Tweet ?

Well I guess that remains to be seen..

The Dem Rep for Brooklyn and Queens
Said "You know just what this all means,
It's a right wing conspiracy
It's internet piracy"
Then come the embarrassing scenes.

A congressman who couldn’t be meaner

Texted a thought that should have been cleaner

But it turned out ok

 

On the following day

 

When his lies proved the guy’s really a Weiner

The Congressman stuck to his lies at first;
Then Breitbart threw a dart that his bubble burst,
Saying, "That's enough, Tony -
Time to cut the baloney,
Or I'll show everybody your Weiner-wurst!"

Sends girls risque pictures for sport

That don't make chicks glow

Proving he's still a high school dork

Brazen hardness feels

the heat of eyes. Drip, drip, drip.

The icicle melts.

Spewing cant and venom made him feel hollow,

So the coed teens Anthony did follow,

But his tweets were creepy and lewd

And the blogs a cover-up construed,

For the girth of Weiner's lies was too hard to swallow.

Steve, you obviously didn't read the comments to Peter's thread yesterday where I posted this:

T’was a politician who tweeted his stiffy

To a coed for him too young and spiffy

But when the photo came out

It was instantly bruited about

That his political career was now iffy

I think this came from Ace of Spades

There once was a congressman named Weiner

Who had an unpleasant demeanor

When his camera-phone,

Sent a pic of his bone

He exclaimed, "who is this girl, never seen her?!"

This reminds me of the "Man from Nantucket" series of poems.

My variant:

There once was a boy from Park Slope

To be Mayor centered his hope

Like the man from Nantucket

He loved his own rocket

Now he is known as a dope

I know - pretty lame.

A pic of a wiener, tumescent

Our Anthony to a young lass sent

First he lied, then he cried

Now his Dem buddies chide

"Resign, or at least just vote 'Present'"
