The Current Political Situation via Clerihews by Lord Yuri Vorgarin

Lady Alys Vorpatril
Was very proper until
She met Illyan down on his luck
Now they just stay home and fuck
Simon Illyan noosed her
Now they do it so fast it's a blur

Lord Auditor Miles
Solves cases with his unique wiles
For it's impossible for a Vorkosigan
To be demoted to the status of “also-ran”

Our Emperor Gregor
Divulges his thoughts to us never
Now he has a Komarran wife
And two dozen kids in his life

Prime Minister Racozy
Isn't Vor and he knows it
He does his job so competently
Nobody speaks of him critically

Chief of ImpSec Allegre
… How the hell am I supposed to find a rhyme for “Allegre”?
His given name, that is, “Guy”
Is easier to match with a rhyme

My sister the Lady Valentina
Wants to emigrate and studies in a
Komarran university
Topic? Five-space diversity

 

 

Bonus Limericks by Lord Yuri Vorgarin

This man from Vorkosigan's District
Was very much of a misfit
He was no amputee
And looked like a mutie
“Oh, there's my arm, I just missed it!”

There once was an Emperor Gregor
Who didn't seek women with rigor
And raised by a Betan
He married Komarran
The kids came from a replicator
