The New Laureate Our new laureate's a toughie; She can manage words like Cloughie Managed Derby. She's not fluffy And her words can jab like Buffy Jabbing vampires when she's huffy. Her phrasing's neat not scruffy, She is  forceful and unstuffy, So let's raise a cheer for Duffy! (When she takes office, I've a notion She'll raise a lot more sparks than Motion.) Linda S. Crespi® If you have any comments on this poem and are not an unmitigated bastard, Linda S. Crespi  would like to hear from you.
