Happy new year from the Great Friday Clean Limerick Challenge.
As 2010 passes away, the GFCLC is pleased to note the limerick fever is spreading like an epidemic.
We received a collection of five limericks in the mail recently and most of them pass our “clean” standard.
Here are the best:
Dear kids of this indebted nation,
Here is the true explanation:
To “pay as we go,”
Congress said, “NO!
“Pass the bills to the next generation.”
“BUSHwhacked” is the proper name
For our high-debt, two-war game,
But if you note,
By recent vote,
Many people want more of the same.
My dear country, shore to shore,
Will be suffering more and more
From a Congress so blind,
So out of its mind,
To cut taxes and then go to war.
I’ll also draw your attention to
Mad Kane’s Political Madness , a daily limerick blog picking its topics from the national headlines. Here’s a good one from the TSA search controversy:
Airline riders, it’s time to speak out.
The TSA rules we must flout.
Radiation or mauling —
They both are appalling.
To submit gives the terrorists clout.
Limerick fever! Catch it!
Of course, the Great Friday Clean Limerick Challenge wouldn’t let the year end without aulde lang syning off:
Two-thousand-and-ten was austere.
At times things became quite severe.
But don’t be a fretter.
Things will soon get better
In the coming happy new year.
