| Dear Cheri: |
|
| WHAT'S IN A NAME? |
|
| No more falters could Clinton afford In naming names for Senate scrutiny. He racked his brain for a dulcet chord To prevent a sure staff mutiny. |
|
| He wanted a pol to seat on the Court, But Riley and Cuomo said no no. His choice must be of the upright sort, Neither far out nor just so-so. |
|
| Eco-whiz Babbit seemed an early shoo-in, His Interior record a green plus. Then on westerly winds complaints blew in -- With such a good fit please don't muss. |
|
| Next from the pack pulled a jurist named Breyer, Who can wield a pen but not peddle a bike. From hospital bed to tax-dodge mire, In the end he was sent on a hike. |
|
| Ginsburg will be justice 107, Her cause equal rights for all women, Her dough she prefers without any leaven, And no one can doubt her great acumen. |
|
| She'll sail through Senate on waters like glass Her approval assured by this sooth: Unlike Zoe, Kimba and Lani, Alas! Her name is all-American Ruth. |
|
| More Later, |
 |
| David J. L'Hoste |
|
| P.S. |
| One thought might allow reason to pause Before we tell Clinton good show: Ruth's spouse is a lawyer who knows tax laws, And his nearest dearest client's Perot! |
