Beautifully done. I note a distinction in the spelling. I am with you, always thought the word is bandinage. Dict. has it without the "N."

Your musical acumen is on target. What better use of badinage than Gilbert and Sullivan. We need a music award:

I think the “n” might be my mistake.

But I was remembering the SOUND of the words, as i had memorized several of G & S operas back when i was a little girl.

“N” must be the unknown quantity here?

All the badinage about Hillary
By the press may not bode well-
She’s lost that temper before
Sending decorum right to hell

When she decides to be pissed
At all the jokes about her van
Drive-by media will be ducking
Into any shelter that they can

She may throw ashtrays and drop
F-bombs like she did to Bill-
If so by the time she’s done
The press may have its fill...

I’m late getting home-when we saw a big storm coming from the west, we got into our trucks and left the job to beat the rain-I decided to stop at the general store for a pita for dinner so I wouldn’t have to grill in the rain-as I turned onto the road I live on, it started to pour, and after I had opened the gate, closed it, parked, unloaded my stuff, and taken the dog out, we were both soaked.

She was delighted to be wet, I was not-now we are both reasonably dry and about to share that pita-just another day in paradise...
