Feel free to publish, post, or pass on Your Weekly Politickle by F.R. Duplantier:
BARRYOKE
“Honey child, should you inquire,
I have but one desire:
It’s not to start
A flame in your heart,
But to set the world on fire.”
From the 2012 archive:
HERE WE GO AGAIN!
Jimmy Carter’s the president when
Some insane Arab protests begin
And is justly rewarded,
Being rightly regarded
As a laughingstock ever since then.
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.”
(DOING) THE OBAMA
Two steps forward and bow like Barack.
Arms akimbo, a single step back.
Now a shuffle in place
With a smile on your face.
Two steps forward and bow like Barack . . .
OATHBUSTER
When he swore, did Obama intend
To preserve and protect and defend?
Were his motives all wrong,
Did he plan all along
To presume and project and upend?
Last week’s limerick:
A LA MODE
“I’m no savage, brute, bully, or hick,
But some things in my craw really stick:
With my set, it’s the fashion
To react with great passion
And go nuts when we see a bad flick.”
