Mad Kane Introduces Herself

Thanks so much to our poetic host for naming me a Rollin Thunder editor. And my apologies for my long delay in posting an introduction.

If you've ever stopped by my Mad Kane's Notables blog, you know that I'm a humor writer, specializing in politics. (I also write humor about everything from work and money to marriage and travel, when I'm not obsessing about the Bush administration.)

So why am I here? Because I write lots of verse: both poetry and song parodies, again, mostly political.

I hope to be better about posting here in the future. But in the meantime, here's a taste of what I do -- a poem to celebrate my return home:

The Madness Returns
By Madeleine Begun Kane

I've been gone for two weeks.
Did I miss something good?
Didn't keep up with the news,
Though I know that I should.

I see Dub's not impeached,
And DeLay''s not in jail...

The rest of The Madness Is Back is here.
