WHOOSH!
\nAt the Winter Olympics, aghast,
\nAll the skiers see someone fly past;
\nThey\u2019re left out in the cold
\nAs Obama gets gold:
\nNo one\u2019s ever gone downhill so fast!<\/p>\n

From the archive:<\/em><\/p>\n

OLYMPIANS
\nIf unfailing commitment’s the thing
\nFrom which ultimate victories spring,
\nThen the spectators know
\nThat the medals should go
\nTo the Christians who live in Beijing.
\n(2008)<\/small><\/p>\n

YEAR OF THE RATS
\nSnowstorm and earthquake and flood,
\nProtest and riot and blood,
\nAlgae in water,
\nLocust on order:
\nChinese Olympics big dud.
\n(2008)<\/small><\/p>\n

Last week’s verse: <\/em><\/p>\n

AN INCONVENIENT MIRTH
\nWith the waning of warming pretense
\nPutting climate change on the defense,
\nHumbugs have a new hoax:
\nThe world\u2019s threatened by jokes
\nBeing made at the humbugs\u2019 expense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
