Commentary: ‘There Once Was a Lady Named Sarah’ – An Ode to McCain’s Choice for Running Mate

By: Deborah Mathis

There once was a lady named Sarah
With no fondness for land like Sahara.
She favored cold days,
And old frontier ways,
And big, fluffy hair a la Farrah.

She was that rarest of few
Who was sexy and tomboyish, too.
With game on the loose,
She shot and killed moose
And cooked it at night in a stew.

Her life took a big turn the day
When she felt a political sway.
She thought she’d do better
And got it together
And commandeered the school PTA.

Though her smile was a popular thriller,
Her political instincts were killer.
She would need the big ball.
She needed it all.
She would have to take over Wasilla.
