Feel free to publish, post, or pass on Your Weekly Politickle by F.R. Duplantier:
TRIBUTE
It was time for a tip of the hat
And to lay it on thick from a vat;
There was only one fly
In the ointment applied:
That the “lion” was really a rat.
From the archive:
MISS KOPECHNE REGRETS
“Though I’ll miss your grand tribute to Ted,
I’ll be with you in spirit instead
As you strive to deny
That grave night in July
When he swam off and left me for dead.”
(2004)
Last week’s limerick:
ALIENATION
“We misread what the candidate’s ‘change’ meant
And rejected the prior arrangement;
Having now had our fill
Of this radical’s swill,
We are feeling a growing estrangement.
