O Calista!

Rate: 27 Flag

Calista, most beautiful of three,
How did this May-December marriage come to be?
Between you pretty thing—so fair—
and a guy with a chin-scrote and white hair?

In ancient times, you were beloved by Zeus
who disguised himself as Diana, goddess of hunt
and moon and birthing, in order to seduce
you while evading Juno’s detection, you . . .

Sorry—can’t bring myself to say it.
One of you must lie on top and I hope
for your sake it’s you and not that fat twit.
I grant you he’s sharp, and not a dope.

Number one was older, and a teacher of algebra
to the young fellow—not at all Caligraphic.
You can imagine how, when she removed her bra
it reminded him of something out of National Geographic.

Number two? Well, hell hath no fury like her.
But you’re hotter, as an Arcadian princess must know.
I hope you know your namesake was turned into a bear,
as Diana shot her with an arrow from her silver bow.

Well, enjoy your time in the spotlight
and that half-a-million buck line of credit at Tiffany’s
As 1 gave way to 2 then to 3, so you will fight
when number 4 arrives—that will be your epiphany.

Con C. You teach.
You think of devil.
Devils gets bored.
I's no theologian.
I wonder ref evil.
Fools fool fools.
National G, newt.
They are sexier.
You win with a Tiffany epiphany.
Here's the crown.
She looks like she is eating more than when she was on Ally McBeal.
Surely you don't doubt that true love is the basis of their union?

He loves money and power
She loves money and money

True love indeed!
.
The eyes...
what is it with conservative women
and those sciFIeyes?
clever post...laughing and smiling here. Keep them
coming! There's so much rich material this year! rated!
Calista, Twisted Sista

Shed no tear for this semi-beauty
Who sleeps with ogre out of duty
Better she should have kissed a froggy
Than lie down with this corpulent hoggy

To sleep, to dream, but not with no boy
Plumper than the Pillsbury doughboy
Surely his girth's a big distraction
And why she can't get no satisfaction

She sold her soul for power and riches
A fault quite common with such bitches
But she might have tried a pol much leaner
Mayhap Congressman Anthony Wiener
You speak the language of the Gods: "Between you pretty thing—so fair—and a guy with a chin-scrote and white hair"

This love match surely has the Olympus stamp of approval although it sounds like it was consummated in Hades.
Then there's Tom's baser rock 'n roll version.
Con - Every Doggerel has its day - but NOT in Florida! I pray. R
Truly inspired.
Let's hope Callista
And her Newt
Can be retired.
Congratulations, Callista. You knowingly married a philanderer. And boy, did you ever pick a beaut!

So funny. Have you ever seen a harder looking woman? It looks like she would shatter if she was touched.
She's probably very nice, but she does look like a scheming, evil woman...
I checked--it's not the Calista from Ally McBeal. Gave me heart palpitations when I saw the comment--how could I miss that angle?
Ahh don't you just love love? Maybe third time's a charm for Newton. I'm sure Callista would be considered a beauty by most standards, but for me she's just too...ice queen perfect. Could her hair be any blonder? Her make-up more exact? I can't imagine she could be warm to the touch.
Callista looks like an Angry Bird to me.
I guess she has a certain cruel beauty, but certainly doesn't look like she offers much of a soft place to fall. He's going to need that.
I think he likes her because she reminds him of the bald eagle on the Presidential seal.
Love the poem! Though think I should alert you have 2 pix of Jabba the Hut posted...you need to replace with one of Dr Gingrich!
I just take what Google image searches give me--I can't tell the difference.

dressed in black like that, she looks like a dominatrix.

i'm astonished that supposedly "conservative" south carolina went for newt, AFTER his "open marriage" letter was revealed.

this is one of those situations - where, if a democrat had been involved - they'd be demanding a recount because the results are so contrary to rational expectations
It's hard to out-polygamize a Mormon, but he's done it.
it's going to get interestinglyer and interestinglyer
and interesting that last night Lifetime premiered Rob Lowe playing Drew Peterson (Chicago cop, 4 wifes, 2 or 3 murdered)
Such a solecism! It's "more interestinger."
It's my greatest fear in life--worse even than man boobs.
Janie beat me to it! Too funny.
All of the above plus "chin-scrote"? You are the master, Con!
. . . and that's actually a good picture of him.
I think he met her on a falconry date--he took her hood off and she caught a rabbit.
A crowning epiphany-
please, not a glory!

You think she is PRETTY? Well, I guess she is if you consider Cruella De'Ville pretty. To each his own.

Lezlie
I'm...I'm...all ferklempt. r.
At the risk of sounding bitchy or trollish, she reminds me of a plastic, passionless (although her history with Newt seems to refute that descriptor) Cruella DeVille from the Disney movie.
The French will dig him.
Because he looks like a snail?
A semi-beauty. Shed no tears! I enjoyed reading... Dr. Paul Perito
