Your Weekly Politickle: BLOC BUSTER

Feel free to publish, post, or pass on Your Weekly Politickle by F.R. Duplantier:

BLOC BUSTER
An alliance is subject to shift,
To eventual rupture and rift:
When this one special pact
Is irreparably cracked,
We will suffer from post-NATO drift.

From the archive

MID-LIFE CRISIS
Europeans have come to depend
On their western allies to defend.
What will they say, though,
When a peacekeeping NATO
Embarks on a war-making trend?
(1998)

RIDING THE TIGER
What’s holding up unified Europe?
State sovereigns won’t step in the stirrup.
Getting in’s not in doubt;
It’s how to get out
That’s a question as sticky as syrup.
(1998)

Last week’s limerick

NUTSHELL
Hillary, dillary, dork,
A senator from New York,
Secretary of State,
Bill Clinton’s mate,
Female variant of an orc.
