Feel free to publish, post, or pass on Your Weekly Politickle by F.R. Duplantier:
MICHELLE ENTIRE
You have covered some miles, we can tell,
And have left some impressions as well,
Your ego’s inflated,
And you’re way overrated:
You’re entirely unbalanced, Michelle.
From the archive:
VACAY
“Going places together’s a drag
As Michelle and I’d rather go stag:
Either way, we both will
Rashly run up the bill
And leave taxpayers holding the bag.”
(2013)
FREELOADER
What began with such grand expectations
As a quest for the best destinations
Finds Michelle scaling back
When it’s up to Barack
To finance his own family’s vacations.
(2012)
DEADBEAT
“Oh, Barack, this is fabulous – still,
Can we really afford such a thrill?”
“Stop your worrying, honey,
It isn’t our money:
Someone else will be footing the bill.”
(2011)
ME SHELL
While the rest of us scrimp all the time,
She displays an indifference sublime:
Our First Lady, Michelle,
Does exceedingly well
As she travels the world on our dime.
(2010)
Last week’s limerick:
CYCLEPATH
Biker Barry’s passed inspection,
With horns, bells and light-reflection,
Neon helmet and scads
Of streamers and pads,
But he’s going the wrong direction.
