Lines on the exit of Howard Dean

(with apologies to E.J. Thribb)

So. Farewell then
Howard Dean
"Ordinary American".

It would seem that
You've blogged your last.

Or have you?

A beginning,
You said,
Not an end.

While we figure
That one out;

Can I get my $50 back?
Thanks.

[UPDATE: An alternative take, courtesy of my bro Gezzie]

Dean, Dean
He is a has been
Vanishing from
Th' political scene
Quicker than a nipple
That's deemed obscene.
