A Satirist’s Lament

A Satirist’s Lament
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Tell me, what should I do when the news
Is so tragic, it gives me the blues?
Though my job is to mock it,
I just want to block it
And shield my poor overwrought muse.

    What should I do when the news
    Outstrips my comedian views?
    VIPs we elect
    invariably select
    Rainbow wigs and size 30 shoes!

    Fun limerick, Bob!

  3. Hansi says:

    I may be sticking my head in the sand
    But all this bad news, I just can’t stand
    All the killing and wars
    Not to mention media whores
    Are fueling paranoia throughout the land

  4. Steve Bates says:

    The cause of your blues is John Boehner,
    A fact that could hardly be ploehner.
    When he says “so be it,”
    It’s easy to see it:
    Our Speaker’s a meanie no-broehner!
