Headline:  Women harassed and groped in Central Park after Puerto Rican Parade--.
In investigating incidents of numerous women being harassed and groped in Central Park following the June, 2000, Puerto Rican Parade, police question usual suspect, but Clinton claims to have rock-solid alibi. © 2000 (du20000614-01)

The High-Tech Awakening (a limerick) (du20000608-01)
    Dick Holbrooke just told the U-N 
    "Computers need women not men."
    So software conventions, 
    unlike farm inventions, 
    will not enslave women for men.
    If you think that this is bizarre, 
    your thinking just ain't up to par.
    So you must opine 
    that gals fell behind 
    'cause men surely had a head-start.
    We must re-write hist'ry to better 
    accommodate feminist fretters:
    When software took flight, 
    the men could touch-type 
    but women were just hunt'n'peckers..  
© 2000  (Inspired by a 06-07-00 Reuters/Excite news report that our UN Ambassador Richard Holbrook told a UN conference that women need to take-over high-tech industries so men can't use them to oppress women as he says was the case in the agricultural revolution when new farming inventions enabled farmers to enslave their wives.)

Operation Petticoat:
A new "operation" called "Petticoat" pits DACOWITS' gals against paleos.

Since submarine service began,
we've deemed it a job for a man,
but lately say some:
"One needn't be hung,
to serve as a submarine hand."

For DACOWITS* some impresarios                [*Defense Advisory Committee On Women In The Service]
said men-only rules are so "paleo,"
and strongly implored
Defense to restore
that old "Operation" called "Petticoat."**           [**The classic Cary Grant movie "Operation Petticoat" in 1959]

In claiming it's just a canard
that gals on a sub should be barred,
they're missing the rub
that gals on a sub
make service on submarines hard.

The problems in submarine space
arise between denim and lace
when corridors tight
force guys with delight
to squeeze-past the gals face-to-face.

For subs to comport with P-C
they'd neutralize standing relief,
but changes installed
would surely be called
Relief Operation P-Seat.

More potties for feminine parity
would remedy standing disparities,
but two other features
of feminine creatures
can stimulate signs of polarity.

Since polarization conditions
could hamper fulfillment of missions,
they'd have-to devise
for masculine eyes
some blinders to limit their vision.

They'd need special couns'ling, of course,
on board the new submarine force.
To settle disputes,
they'd have-to recruit
some lawyers who handle divorce.

And guys who remain unconvinced
that gals on a sub is good sense
would have-to take classes
on working with lasses
to learn how a gal takes offense.

New language they'd have-to devise
for orders to not go awry
and lead to confusion
and awkward contusions
when sailors hear orders to dive.

They'll need to instill a new credo
revamping traditional lingo,
so women won't fake
the claim, "My head aches,"
when needed to handle torpedoes.

Recruiters would have to promote
campaigns to make gals think it haute
to break the taboos
by joining the crews
who serve in the submarine boats.

With P-C desires to be hip
recruiters proposed a new script:
"In breaking taboos,
the Navy needs you
to serve going down on a ship."

Anonymous-source expositions
declared such proposal a symptom
of hold-over views
for breaking taboos
for service by gals under Clinton.

So Rumsfeld decreed the rescission
of women on submarine missions
on fully detecting
the plans for erecting
the DACOWITS Doctrine of Clinton..

This is an updated, revised version of the original limerick about a "New Operation Petticoat" originally published in April, 2000.

When Generals Grope Generals (a limerick du20000331-01).
---Inspired by  03-31-00 FoxNews report that Gen. Claudia Kennedy says a general groped her.
    When sexual harassment is claimed 
    by armed-forces gals, who gets blamed?
    Not just harassers 
    but also top-brassers 
    for not inculcating restraint.
    Each time that a grunt gropes a dame, 
    his chain of command gets the blame.
    With claims that it shows 
    they're just not gung-ho 
    in teaching respect t'wards the dames.
    However, it's too much to hope, 
    when generals by generals are groped
    that those who just blame 
    those high in the chain 
    will focus on Slick Willie's gropes.
    Those same folks had called it a reach, 
    when Congressmen said, "Let's impeach."
    Apparently they  
    must think it's okay  
    when gals are impaled by the Chief.
