SHARE YOUR WEEKLY POLITICKLE BY F.R. DUPLANTIER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IN THE DOGE HOUSE
\u201cMy new boss is a big stupid jerk
And he acts like I\u2019m trying to shirk.
He wants me to say
What I do for my pay
And expects me to come into work!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

CARNIVAL THROES
On Mardi Gras Day, tap a cask
And fill up a bota or flask,
But make sure you\u2019re not spotted
Looking totally potted:
For your own sake, please, wear a mask.
(2022)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAT CHANCE
They can say it\u2019s against the law
And I\u2019ll just say \u201cPshaw!\u201d
And have my fun
As a krewe of one:
No one cancels my<\/em> Mardi Gras!
(2021)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOEUF GRAS<\/em>
Who\u2019s that marching and what\u2019s their big beef?
Not more malcontents flaunting faux<\/em> grief?
No, it\u2019s Mardi Gras Day
And it\u2019s revelers at play:
Joie de vivre<\/em> is the only motif.
(2017)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOING WITHOUT
To avoid any purchase or rent
Was my niggardly neighbor\u2019s intent,
So I said with mock sorrow,
\u201cI don\u2019t have what you\u2019d borrow:
It\u2019s Ash Wednesday, it\u2019s already Lent.\u201d
(2015)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MARDI GRAS TIME
In New Orleans, where everyone knows
How to scramble for carnival throws,
It\u2019s just one day of fun,
Then the madness is done \u2014
But the madness in Washington grows.
(2011)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAPPY MARDI GRAS!
When the spirit of carnival reigns,
Sober citizens unplug their brains;
Egotists in disguises
Are proffering prizes
To propel presidential campaigns.
(2008)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAT TUESDAY
Every revel unravels at last
And evaporates into the past,
For today is soon spent
And tomorrow is Lent:
Forty days to repent and to fast.
(2007)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAY WE?
It\u2019s not a big \u201cfaux pas\u201d
When we say, \u201cOh, la la!\u201d
Or \u201claissez faire,\u201d
Or \u201cderriere,\u201d
Or Happy \u201cMardi Gras!\u201d
(2006)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAPPY MEDI-GRASS!
Marijuana has helped me a lot!
It\u2019s a marvel, this medical \u201cpot\u201d!
My condition\u2019s the same,
But I\u2019m pleased to proclaim
I\u2019ve forgotten what illness I\u2019ve got!
(2005)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week’s limerick<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

STRAW VOTE
Paper straws do not work, but you\u2019re stuck.
You prefer plastic straws? Out of luck!
Paper straws are a pain,
Paper straws are insane.
Plastic straws are the best \u2019cause they suck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
