President Bill Clinton ( Clerihew )

President Bill Clinton ( Clerihew )

President Bill Clinton
didn't settle for badminton.
He spiced up his oval office days,
by playing with cigars all kinds of ways.

This was a challenge by my friend Michael Moran ( Mr. Darcy)

    I never saw this poem, Ingrid. It's very humorous. :)

    After reading it, I came up with a new second part. What do you think?

    President Bill Clinton
    didn't settle for badminton.
    Instead, he toyed with interns in his car
    while they puffed on his cigar.

    Hey now "soso" about the one that followed him....how many terrorist attacks happened AFTER we went to iraq? hmmm? i believe that number is a perfect 0. which it probably wouldn't be if we had sat on our lazy american bums and done nothing, leaving ourselves open to more attacks.
    and ingrid, i love your work! :) great job!
