VACAY
\n“Going places together\u2019s a drag
\nAs Michelle and I\u2019d rather go stag:
\nEither way, we both will
\nRashly run up the bill
\nAnd leave taxpayers holding the bag.”<\/p>\n

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

FREELOADER
\nWhat began with such grand expectations
\nAs a quest for the best destinations
\nFinds Michelle scaling back
\nWhen it\u2019s up to Barack
\nTo finance his own family\u2019s vacations.
\n(2012)<\/p>\n

DEADBEAT
\n\u201cOh, Barack, this is fabulous \u2013 still,
\nCan we really afford such a thrill?\u201d
\n\u201cStop your worrying, honey,
\nIt isn\u2019t our money:
\nSomeone else will be footing the bill.\u201d
\n(2011)<\/p>\n

ME SHELL, CONT.
\nWhile the rest of us scrimp all the time,
\nShe displays an indifference sublime:
\nOur First Lady, Michelle,
\nDoes exceedingly well
\nAs she travels the world on our dime.
\n(2010)<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s limerick:<\/em><\/p>\n

RODEOBAMA
\nDid a single State Fairgoer frown
\nAt the thought of a bull running down
\nSuch a shuffling shirker
\nAnd smart-aleck smirker
\nAs Obama the rodeo clown?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
