Limericks about Politics, not policticians
77
Introduction
Politics is inescapable this year. Not to mention that I have plenty of time to think about things. I am limiting this hub's subject to my feelings about the stuff flying through the air and internet.
If you want to add a limerick to comment section, send it in and I will take a look at it. I will only ask that you follow the Hubpages policies. Thanks!
PS - I would really like to hear from all parts of the political spectrum. I don't have to agree with everything in the comment section to include it in this particular hub.
Comments on Be Glad
I was wondering at the time if anyone would post limericks in the comment section. I would love to see opposing views in limerick form. I think that free speech implies that I can listen to you.

Be Glad
It is important to me
That I listen and see
To words you make
Actions you take
Be glad our speech is free.

Why?
Why do you keep telling me
“Our plan will fix the economy.”
It’s a hard sell.
Your claims won’t gel.
If you keep taking from me!
Part time Politicians: Bureaucrats are forever.
Respect is demanded of me
By those in office i see
I would comply
Really would try
If not for the tax man and DMV.
Too Busy
I was too busy to listen
To the words of a politician
He hit the right note
For him I did vote
Now, I have time to listen.
PO Warning
Honestly, I could care less
Which Party created this mess.
I am PO’d
My vote is not owed
My life is under such stress.
Dry Well
I have no doubt that you mean well.
It’s just that you’re trying to sell
Your own point of view
Of what I must do.
You are wishing in a dry well.

Who am I writing about?
You will have to figure that out for yourself.
What is a limerick?
It is a fixed length poem. A limerick has five lines. The rhyme scheme is AABBA. This is according toThe Heath Introduction to Literature, Third Edition, by Alice S. Landry. There is more to it; but, it has been covered really well in hub articles by other people.
When did you write this?
I am hoping my observations are timeless. I am writing this in June of 2011
Where?
Hubpages. Where else? Oh, I see. All politics is local.
Why chose a limerick?
The reason is that a limerick is easily remembered, if I write it well. A secondary benefit is that it is very hard to wander off message.
How do you write limericks?
I write limericks with a pencil. Revise the poem in pencil until I am happy with it. Let it sit for a day Then type it into a word document.

We give certain victims seniority,
Get shot,.and become a priority,
there's riot and looting,
Provided the shooting,
Is not by another minority
Thanks Bruce
On leaving Afganistan early-------------
In the mirror Obama sees Lancelot,
though we're gettin kicked in the pants alot,
Took toys and we left,
Our boys are bereft,
From fear that we're lookin like France alot.
the 'Powers' should lay it on hard,
These cowards un-Saintly and scarred,
so that payin for bounty,
means playin for 'County',
an hour a day in 'the Yard'.
At the Tree Hugger Annual Forum,
They scolded the 'Backers Santorum',
For scorning ignoble,
The warming of global,
And overall lack of de-Gore-um.
With Romney and Gingrich involving,
There's sensitive question involving,
the president's house,
will the resident's spouse,
Be many, or simply revolving.
Talk of profiling really does puzzle'em,
Our press, who would hug em and nuzzle'em,
Claim 'they don't all cause terror',
But there's nothing that's rare'er,
than a terrorist who isn't a muslim.
Obama gave Catholic's dismay,
Unfair..and unwilling to sway,
From extolling the worth,
Of controlling the birth,
cuz where there's a pill there's a way.
Thank you Mr Davidson. Not bad, not bad at all.
when the 'brave' captain sank in the bay,
He fled...leaving folks in dismay,
Now the vessel...it's jacked up,
we're guessing he's packed up,
cuz the next trip ..he's 'going away'
Our political dichotomy
Finally has got to me
I propose a cure
It is one that’s sure
A 2012 Obamatomy
Serious topic; fun format.
I like the line: You are wishing in a dry well.
Thank you Mr. Bagley.
Obama said he'd change the way
They act in D.C. every day
But his chance he has blown
And now it is known
He won't have much longer to stay.

Our leaders from Garfield to Grover,
got greet'n when Fido skipped over,
but rich resident dog-tied,
while this president's hog-tied,
from eat'n the right ribs of Rover.
