SHARE YOUR WEEKLY POLITICKLE BY F.R. DUPLANTIER
SCARE CITY
You reside in a cute little box
On a street that is only ten blocks,
You can’t go very far
And don’t need any car:
At both ends of the street, there are locks.

HOUR APOLOGIES
It isn’t our fault this is late,
It goes out Monday mornings at eight,
We’ve not altered the time
That we send out our rhyme,
But the clock gets pushed back on this date.

FALL START
From the clock that I keep on the wall
I acquired one more hour last Fall,
But I never did use it
And will now likely lose it:
Tell me what was the point of it all?

ON THE BLINK
Saving daylight is wonderfully wise
And a cinch if a citizen tries.
It’s so simple to do,
I’ll explain it to you:
You save daylight by closing your eyes.

OUR CONFUSION
Will we ever develop the knack
Of remembering how to keep track,
Overcoming the “block”
Of resetting our clock:
To “fall forward” or, rather, “fall back”?
(2005)
Last week’s limerick
IN THE DOGE HOUSE
“My new boss is a big stupid jerk
And he acts like I’m trying to shirk.
He wants me to say
What I do for my pay
And expects me to come into work!”
