Okay, I admit some of these do tend to lean a bit to the left. Hope they don't offend anyone. If you have a limerick of your own, please feel free to post in on my Guest Book page.
The Earth is the home all living things share
But it's warning mankind to take care.
"You will soon destroy me
Fouling air, land and sea--
There is only so much I can bear."
Policemen, Firemen, teachers and clerks
The GOP thinks they're nothing but jerks
See the mega-rich grin
And the CEO’s win
As they happily rake in all of the perks.
Pat Robertson says it's the Lord's hand.
If disasters strike us or a far away land.
But is God delighting
By the innocent smighting?
Showing no mercy when taking his stand?
Who knows what Palin will do next?
Although I'm sure there are some she will vex.
Shouting far right spin
As the cash she rakes in
This hot middle aged bimbo in specs.
They can serve on the Court 'till they die.
But Clarence Thomas is a reason to cry.
It's so damn wrong.
He does not belong.
His ineptitude none can deny.
Some say that Ann Coulter is great
‘Cause all liberals she loves to berate.
Through muck she meanders—
And good folks she slanders
Getting rich just by peddling hate.
They lived in the country called The Same.
And what happened there was truly a shame.
Mistakes repeated
Change defeated
And for the death of the Great Dream all were to blame.
There once lived a man named Ken Lay
Who conveniently died one fine day.
Leaving all those he cheated
Mad, broke and defeated
But his own family doing okay.
Loving thy neighbor isn't easy to do
When he looks so different from you.
So be sure to judge
And hold on to that grudge.
While you feast on intolerance stew.
Why bother giving poor children healthcare
If their folks have no cash to spare?
It's rich kids that matter.
So spare me the chatter.
If poor kids suffer it's not my affair.
Jesus looked down and his tears fell like rain.
When all he saw was greed and distain.
In the land of the free
The poor died needlessly
While the rich made light of their pain.
He kept on singing the same old song.
Insisting that he'd done nothing wrong.
Ignoring rule of law
With amazing chutzpah
That's why Gonzales lasted so long.
CEO's get paid millions each year
For making good jobs disappear.
Cutting fringes and pay
The American way
Through outsourcing, illegal’s and fear.
There once was a man named O'Reilly
Who thought of himself very highly
He'd pretend to be nice
Then his victims he'd slice
Armed with half-truths spoken so wryly.
Getting rich is what matters today
And that's a real good reason to pray.
Screw the poor and the weak!
It’s wealth that I seek.
If God loves me, he'll show me the way.
This country is buried in debt
But Bush claims there’s no reason to fret.
“Hey, China’s still lending
So let’s keep on spending.
Trillions in debt ain't no reason to sweat.”
There once was a man named Obama
Who was black but had a white Mama
People wanted a change
But his name was so strange
‘Cause ‘tween the O and b there’s no comma.
There once was a rich man from Texas
Whose reign was surely the nexus
For disasters and woes—
Almost eight years of lows—
How could one man do so much to vex us?
Privatization is finally here.
See the CEO's grin ear-to-ear.
They love this vacation
From all regulation.
As they gouge and pollute without fear.
