[From the diaries by susanhu.]
The President goes to Fort Bragg,
With fireworks and waving of flags.
But families are pissed,
At the way they’ve been dissed.
Is he marching right into Fort Frag?
(five more after the fold!)
John Walton has died in a crash,
This heir and board member was brash.
It’s ironic he died,
Like the goods his store plied,
Wrapped up loosely in ultra-light trash.
The justices refused to address,
Two reporters first amendment redress.
Seems the ultimate blame
For Valerie Plame
Remains shrouded in political finesse.
Now Pfizer insists they’re maligned,
And that Viagra won’t make you go blind.
Their pill cures an ill,
Finds a way for the will,
Sadly, that’s how they service mankind.
France won the right to seek fusion,
Despite Bush’s terror allusions.
Seems he wanted Japan,
For the over all plan.
Just another diplomatic contusion.
Bush met with Prime Minister Schroeder,
Passed themselves off as mutual doters.
They’ve in common some polls,
Where they’re looking like trolls.
Most definitely a loser type odor.
as I’ve only seen one written limerick that could be done in public (not counting the “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” limericks.) And here you have a whole covey. Very good, verry goooood.
but very few . . .
In a space that is quite economical.
But the good ones I’ve seen
So seldom are clean
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.
Oh, Bood (or Dood… you will live forever with that grammatical error) this has to be one of your best to date!!! Wonderful! I’m blowing you kissies while giving you a 4 and a recommend. Front page, too… woohoo. Toots to whomever promoted this from the diaries.
There once was a dimwit named FratBoy,
Whose daddy had ruled over that toy.*
Said Cheney to Frat,
“I can put you with that.”
And now Cheney runs FratBoy and that toy.
*’that toy’ could mean nukes, the military, the country, whatever. Too obscure?
There once was a wingnut named George,
Who’s head was as empty as a gorge,
His brain was overtaken by a Karl
Who demonized Liberals with a snarl,
Now the wingnuts are all engorged.
Dick Cheney wants to epitomize the right,
He likes to show off their might,
He is the chickenhawk’s leader of course,
You can tell because he is so coarse,
Unfortunately he has become a blight..
Bood,
you have started an avalanche of Limerick proportions.
That mild-mannered guy, Dennis Rader,
At evil he’s matched by Darth Vader.
When he wanted a thrill,
He’d bind, torture, and kill.
At mass murder, only Bush may be greater…
Speaking of Ft. Frag:
Military Families Speak Out and others are preparing for Bush….
Folks, let’s go over the rules for limericks:
And the most important rule of all:
4. Have fun, and break or ignore these rules if you like. I’m not trying to be a wet blanket or a spoilsport; I’m just trying to let everyone know the rules so we can come up with the best limericks of which we are capable.
We have a majority leader named Frist,
The Dr, who put cats through a tryst,
He wrote about killing his cats,
But all it really said is this is just that,
Now I want to be President Frist.
First you dream it, then it happens… :^)
There once was a memo from Downing
That started the Media frowning
Soon George Dick and Karl
With an impotent snarl
In the swamp of impeachment were drowning
There once was a scoundrel named Novak
Who thought he was safe from all blowback
But Wilson and Plame
Put an end to his game
And proved him a treasonous Rove flack
Ok, topical instead of wishful thinking…
Said unprincipled Tony Scalia
“From the grip of the heathen I’ll free ya”
Spoke up Madison’s ghost
“Now your freedom is toast”
A Republican brand of Shari’a
Excellent attention to meter and a nice twist! Much better than mine!
bood/dood,
I loved yours! Very ingenious rhyming. Plus, you can photoshop like a demon. I bow deeply in your direction.
I mostly lurk, but that was a fun challenge. I got way too anal over the meter, though – that’s 30 minutes I’ll never get back.
Cheers to everyone!
