Your Weekly Politickle: HYPE & CHANGE
Feel free to publish, post, or pass on Your Weekly Politickle by F.R. Duplantier:
HYPE & CHANGE
If you want to get people believing,
Do not scrimp on the web you are weaving:
You’re more apt to get by
With a really big lie
When you set out to practice deceiving.
From the archive:
PINOCCHIOBAMA
While we hang on his every last word,
Mesmerized by the mishmash we’ve heard,
Teleprompters relay
What the dummy should say
And our president’s Mortimer Snerd.
(2009)
THE JOURNALIST
In the past, he had to “pay dues”
And develop “a nose for the news.”
Well, he still has a nose,
But, my, how it grows
When the facts must conform to his views.
(1998)
Last week’s verse:
HAPPENING
Our Republic he will rearrange
And the rights of the people estrange:
Yes, it can happen here
And it’s now all too clear
What Obama intended by “change.”
