Here are a couple of political limericks written by Robert Keating, a member of our Green Poets group in Santa Monica.
On Tuesday morning, I read to the group my “Sick Systems” poem, which this newspaper published, and Mr. Keating read some of his political limericks.
He has a website focused on the most corrupt administrations in U.S. politics www.mostcorrupt.com/Newsmaker-Limericks.html
I thought you might be interested in his verses:
Our healthcare reform hopes are sinkin'
With Landrieu and Nelson and Lincoln.
Their hard opposition
To real competition
Has lobbyists everywhere winkin'.
Democracy loses its luster
When stick-in-the-muds filibuster.
A Senate bill dies
With 59 Ayes
If 41 Nays they can muster.
