Your Weekly Politickle: IRONIC CURTAIN
Feel free to publish, post, or pass on Your Weekly Politickle by F.R. Duplantier:
IRONIC CURTAIN
You’re not really “transparent” at all:
When you’re asked for your records, you stall;
You keep everything hidden,
Public access forbidden.
Mr. President, tear down this wall!
From the archive:
WATCHDOGS
“There’s just too much at stake,
We’ve got other muck to rake,
So, thanks, Sheriff Joe,
But we’d rather not know
If the birth certificate’s fake.”
(2012)
TARGET ACQUIRED
Taking years to amass information
And exactly determine location,
What at last have we found
Buried deep underground
But Obama’s birth documentation?
(2011)
DREAMS FROM MY FATHERLAND
“You may think that I haven’t a plan,
But from Libya it’s on to Sudan,
And from there to Nairobi
To quell kinsmen who know me
As a sly, native-born Kenyan man.”
(2011)
UNPRESIDENTED
We’re remiss to dismiss and deride
Those who ask if Barack’s qualified:
If it cannot be sworn
That he is “natural born,”
Then Obama has something to hide.
(2011)
BIRDS OF A FEATHER
The media rarely deride
A President on the same side:
For the faithful defender
Of their social agenda,
They’re willing to let some things slide.
(1998)
THE JOURNALIST
In the past, he was forced 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 limerick:
RUSSIAN
“Please, Vlady, let’s slow down the pace,
You really must give me more space,
Because after November
I’ll have time to dismember
What’s left of the United States.”
