Sillery, chillery,
Candidate Hillary
Cranks up the warmth as her
Numbers go south;

Never a hot number,
Cool as a cucumber,
Oleomargarine
Froze in her mouth.

That's a nice one, Douglas. Silly of me to have had this not in its rightful Hillary repository.

Pin the Dirt on the Clinton: A Long-Standing Tradition

Hillary calumny shocks,
They store up slurs like rocks.
The rocks honed big for Bill
Bombard on Clinton still:
If one Fox anchor talks
Hillary's pillory locks.

"There is no free lunch," the Donald's implying.
His campaign's imploding, his numbers are dying.
I'm voting for Clinton, since there's no denying,
Why pay for my lunch, while the Government's buying.

When the phone rings at three in the morning,
Will the country go down in defeat?
Never! Trump issues a warning:
Make just one wrong move and I'll tweet!

[Jerome Betts]

True, Presidential candidates
Have sometimes tempted all the Fates
With shady deals and dodgy mates
Or drugs and debts and too much booze
Or made the not-so-welcome news
Through gaffes in TV interviews
Much like the Donald, yes? Well, nope,
It's greasy overtures 'n' grope
Which may just sink him, let us hope.

WIKILEAKS – Julian Assange destroys Hillary Clinton!

I’m surprised she hasn’t already withdrawn from the election. The leaked documents mercilessly show that:

- She is in FAVOUR of making America a more just society!

- She is in FAVOUR of regulating the banks and Wall Street to prevent another crash like the one in 2008!

- She is in FAVOUR of making financial people accountable for their actions!

- She is in FAVOUR of closing interest loopholes and addressing the problem of skyrocketing CEO salaries!

- She is in FAVOUR of some form of universal health care!

For his great public service in bringing all these horrors to light, I can only thank Julian Assange in the following terms:

So that was the great revelation
To end Clinton’s bid for the nation?
Poor Assange! His “big hit”
Is worth less than the shit
Of a gnat with acute constipation.

Donald Trump prepares for the next debate

“Preparing’s too much of a grind,
So I’ll just say what comes to my mind.
If it’s insults and lies,
They’ll still give me the prize –
My supporters are deaf, dumb and blind.”

Donald Trump’s “Tax losses”

“Lost a billion? That’s nothin’, just wait
Till I get my fat paws on the state.
The ’29 crash
Will be peanuts – the cash
Will make this American great.”

No Such Silly-Billery, Hillary, please

Don't keep the White House cigars
Where Jagger once kept his Mars Bars.
With its smoothe, silky coating all meltingly tanned
A Mars in a bush is worth two in a hand
And its flavour's a lingual delight.
But cigars from the lips of an intern
May well be too damp to ignite.

The Groining of America?

A lady who sadly recalls
A shameless proposer of walls
xxSaid, "It's one thing to flirt,
xxBut a hand up your skirt ?
If he tries it on you, TWIST HIS !"
