MARDI GRAS TIME
\nIn New Orleans, where everyone knows
\nHow to scramble for carnival throws,
\nIt\u2019s just one day of fun,
\nThen the madness is done —
\nBut the madness in Madison grows.<\/p>\n

TODAY\u2019S LESSON
\n\u201cI don\u2019t care if your dad\u2019s out of work
\nOr state budgets are going berserk:
\nI\u2019m a privileged creature,
\nA public school teacher,
\nAn incompetent, overpaid jerk.\u201d
\n(2011)<\/small><\/p>\n

Last week’s verse:<\/em><\/p>\n

CHINA PATTERN
\n\u201cWe will tar fossil fuels as unclean,
\nPromote other resources as green.
\nThere\u2019s a catch — which, of course, is
\nThat those greener resources
\nAre controlled by our red war machine.\u201d<\/p>\n
