For Best political limerick
Please post here.
There once was a man named Pence
Who liked to sit on a a fence
He hooked up with Trump
and sat on a stump,
and than became vice_ pre_si_pence
The Dems love increased regulation
That makes us less free as a nation
They mandate and ban
Everything that they can
Then they find ways to raise our taxation.
Why should we fret?
Nothing bad has happened yet
Silly foreigners hold our debt
Should they wake up
And remove the free cup
We will figure it out, I bet
Let’s laugh and not cry
For the credit well will never run dry
King Dollar is high for very good reason
To think otherwise, would be treason.
Chuck and Mitch went for a beer
Smiling broadly they said with a leer.
“It’s true we have nothing to fear
Divide and conquer still is the best game
The voters just argue over who is to blame
Our semblance of disagreement keeps us employed
If our true purpose were known, we would be destroyed”
Once there was a gal named Hillary,
Who by Trump was well pilloried
Putin interfered,
Oh my Oh dear,
And now we're a second world
Count-ter-ie
That President Vlad is bad there is no disputin’
He may even be worse than that guy Rasputin
With friends like Bernie, Bill, and AG Loretta
Winning the White House is not easy, I betcha
Vlad will deceive and spread fake news
Hack, cheat and employ any ruse
To influence American voters’ selection
Sadly, though it’s the Electoral College that “stole” the election
In seeking the villain we need look no father
The real cause of the problem is the Founding Father.
Representative government may promote meritocracy
But, one thing is sure, it does not create democracy
Of course, to question ourselves would be a shame
Much better to find a foreigner to blame
^^^^
Much better if you read it in Flo's voice, from the Progressive commercials.
Outstanding entries,
Anyone care to have a go at limericks for mvno's?
There once was a company called tello?.......
BTW ,
We have cans and string, pigeons, etc. but our high grand high poobah hungry ghost, is a simple administrator!
We can't have that!
Who can come up with the best title for our GRand Creator Hungy Ghost!
There once was a company called Tello
Patrick, its spokesman, was a great fellow
It sure had lots of appeal
Its rates were a great deal
Easy to use and involved no fuss
An awesome place for migrants like us
As someone who is awed by the majesty of bureaucracy, and its ability to make the simplest thing impossible to do, I can think of no more honorable and distinguished title than Administrator.
However, how about Quantum Computer 5G Networker
Better Health Care for those who wish
To sample a possibly lethal dish
Is Mitch indeed a wicked witch?
Will Chuck leave us in a ditch?
Neither of these pols has our backs
For that, let's turn to rational Jeff Sachs
Bilbo and Sam set off on a quest,
By Gollum they found a big mess
Insurance companies
ran rings with their subsidies
and Hobbitown got left with a mess
Don't have a title to suggest, but how about a limerick in his honor?
There once was a starving host
Who helped with this forum the most
He remained underfed
Until he was dead
And now he's a Hungry Ghost
P.S. Hope this doesn't upset anyone... no disrespect intended... we all know and are extremely glad that Hungry Ghost is very much alive and well!
And now, a nice little MVNO limerick for you:
There once was a service called Ting
Where refugees flocked to from Ring (Plus)
Their rates were more high
So some said bye bye
But at least they enjoyed a brief fling
OK... last but not least, my political limerick contributions (in order to remain nonpartisan, they are posted in alphabetical order, Democrats before Republicans)... enjoy!
Democrats seem to like spending
Their programs can be neverending
They want to gain seats
To accomplish more feats
But lately their polls are not trending
Republicans seem to be greedy
And try to pass laws real speedy
They hate to pay taxes
So they get out their axes
And take lots of stuff from the needy
Now that you mention it, most things would probably sound much better if we read them in Flo's voice! I do believe you're onto something. (Ironic, isn't it, that you'd like to hear more from a Progressive? )
My cellphone had minutes to spare
I dropped it in the john
My minutes are gone
I must have f****!! up
Cause now I have no time left on the air
