In my shuttle between angst and elation during this campaign season, I have let my responsibilities lapse. It's time to pick up the limerick cudgel and start beating the news into humor.
You know the plan.
Speed counts.
Political topics constrain the format.
Do try to avoid offending Granny with scatological references, if possible.
Here's one to get you started...
The POW and Moose Meat,
Had a plan for the street.
To prance, cheat and lie,
And let the mud fly,
But they weren't fast enough on their feet.
Or:
The invasion of Ike came ashore,
with destruction just like '44.
Once again we were treated,
To FEMA defeated,
As our government betrayed us once more.
And then:
The masses are struggling, again,
But the bosses are wondering when
That evil Big Gov
That they so hate to love
Will bailout their panicky hen.
(Chicken Little references are a stretch! <g> )
