Former Presidents' Asian Charity Drive Doesn't Include Carter

by Tony Peyser

Since leaving office
Poppy's main attribute
Is jumping from planes
In a parachute.

Picking him, not Carter,
Is sheer insanity
Can you say Habitat
For Humanity?

Judge our Presidents
By the things they do
After serving the likes
Of me and you.

Carter built countless
Homes for the poor
Poppy made countless
Millions from war.

(This Poppy news
Is hardly a scoop
Just go Google
The Carlyle Group.)

But for Poppy
This sure beats sitting
In Maine as he waits
To hold Bar's knitting.
