Feel free to publish, post, or pass on Your Weekly Politickle by F.R. Duplantier:
THE HOPE OF AUDACITY
“There is nothing the voters won’t buy
If the sales pitch is suitably sly:
I could easily sell
Them all homesteads in Hell
If I just keep repeating the lie.”
From the archive:
HYPE AND CHANGE
If you want to get people believing,
Do not scrimp on the web you are weaving:
You’re more apt to get by
With a really big lie
When you set out to practice deceiving.
(2010)
CHANGE AGENT
“I’m a master at deceivin’,
At wigglin’, wafflin’, weavin’;
And when I create
A socialist state,
You’ll have change you can believe in.”
(2008)
OBAMA
“You say I’m selling hope
As if it were a soap,
But, by being hip
And saying zip,
I hope to rope a dope.”
(2008)
Last week’s limerick:
IMPATIENCE
The election’s just two months away,
But it’s hard to endure the delay:
How we long for a rout
And the bums all thrown out!
How we wish we were voting today!
