Limericks Reading the Newspaper
Limericks seem a suitable vehicle for commenting upon the sorry morning headlines in the ever-thinning newspaper. Are you all doing electronic news, perhaps? At any rate, here at the Pub, short funny rhyming poems are de rigour - but we have branched out a bit and find outselves enthralled by the snappy, four-line quatrain poem- at our sister site, Major Enterprises. Reading the News Are you having a bit of the angst
With your mutual funds or your banks?
Just hang on, we'll get through
This economy, too
But before the environment tanks? Aberration here'bouts seems the norm
Drive-by shootings, date rape, kiddie porn
Hit the headlines you view
Every morning when you
Read the new debacles they inform. We are sickened by white collar crime
And it's happening more all the time
Finance gurus we trust
Turn our dreams into dust
Seems a whole lot of them are just slime. Politicians who run the whole show
Ply agendas you don't want to know
And their prime merchandise
Is the vote that they price
And will sell to obtain quid pro quo. No matter the day, there is war
Little difference how earnest we are
Seems we're targets for hate
As we accumulate
Those who hate us both near and afar. While the birthday greeting is our stock-in-trade here at HBLP, and we have a considerable amount of Thank You Notes and Get Well Soon wishes to share with you. If you feel inclined, share some of your poems with us. We love to hear from you at Molly's Virtual Pub.
