TUB SNUBBERS
\nThey abstain from Palmolive and Prell
\nAnd perform their ablutions pell-mell,
\nNeither soaking nor scouring
\nIn their five-minute showering:
\nNow we know why some Englishmen smell.<\/p>\n

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

BUSYBODIES
\nThey’ll first find tobacco at fault,
\nThen coffee, wine, spirits, and malt.
\nThen they’ll next demonize
\nColas, burgers, and fries,
\nThen all snacks made with sugar and salt!
\n(1999)<\/small><\/p>\n

NO CURE FOR THE COMMON SCOLD
\nThey insist we directly disown
\nEvery pleasure and pastime that\u2019s known.
\nThose \u201cnatural\u201d nags
\nAnd health-conscious hags
\nOh, why can\u2019t they leave us alone?
\n(1998)<\/small><\/p>\n

Last week’s limerick:<\/em><\/p>\n

CORDOBA
\nLike a swaggering conquering hero,
\nRauf is building a mosque at Ground Zero
\n— Where some 3000 bodies
\nWere interred by jihadis \u2013
\nAnd Obama just fiddles like Nero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
