The nice vote goes to Huckabee.
No other is as nice as he.
He leads a decent sort of life.
He's married to his only wife.
His kids, we'd bet, still speak to him.
He's courteous, but isn't prim.
A cheerful fat man who got lean,
He's not vindictive, rude or mean.
Of course, he thinks our way's been lost:
Abortion is a "holocaust"
And evolution's just a myth
(The apes are not his kin or kith)
And what the Bible says is true.
The Earth's not old. It's rather new--
Six thousand years, from Eve to present.
He's wacko, sure, but he's sure pleasant.
