Palin Gets Cheers, Jeers in Boston


Palin in Boston, originally uploaded by rbtenorio.

(sung to the tune of a Beantown anthem)

Palin made her way to Boston Wednesday and gave it everything she got;
Like the tea she brewed, her speech and the mood sure were piping-hot;
It made some folks want to get away...
But Palin just had to go
Where everybody knows her name...
Though they're not all glad she came...
The city of ducks and Scott Brown's truck will never be the same,
Not since Palin showed up and proved she's got game!
