Polimericks

THE BALTIMORE SUN

Exposing both nitty and gritty

Probes of ethics tend not to be pretty;

One aimed at the Speaker

May be a mite meeker --

Guess who names the Ethics Committee.

* * *

The elephant, far from a dummy,

Ferments a home brew in his tummy:

This inner resource

Can make him, of course,

An outsize Republican rummy.

* * *

Successor at Treasury Rubin

Already the money mill's through been;

Should anyone ask

If he's up to the task,

It's like asking if Miami's Cuban.

* * *

To some the environment means

No more than a hillock of beans;

To head off their theft

Of what we have left,

more green's needed now by the "greens."
