Hilary Barnes Poet Political Verse

Predatory Riches Haunt France

Predatory Riches Upset French Presidential Campaign 


#Fillon, rich and predatory,’s in the slime,
Took public money for his wife so fine.
His campaign to advance
To President of #France
Has people saying, 'He’s passed a red line.'

It's tough on Penelopé,
Who's slaved for her man,
But the money 'enveloppé'
Counts her work as a sham,
So she's on a slippery slope,
Is his dear Penelope.

(French president election 2017 : François Fillon, former prime minister, conservative candidate, is accused of using public money to pay his wife, Penelope in French 'penny lope'), for a ‘fictive job’ as his parliamentary assistant. She is under judicial investigation for ‘receiving’.
