You were a pleasant, decent foe,
And so we're sad to see you go.
Oh, sure, your policies regarding
Taxation sound like Warren Harding.
But you're so nice, Mike Huckabee,
That even liberals such as we
Forgive you that, y mucho más:
Your Holy Roller mishegoss.
Mike Huckabee, we wish you'd won,
Since you're the only one who's fun,
The only one whose campaign jokes
Did not seem wrought by other folks.
We wish you'd won, Mike, most of all
'Cause we could beat you in the fall.
