Limerick Ode To The Diversionary Dog

Tuesday, August 27th, 2013

They say dogs are politically handy—
As distractions, attractively dandy.
Barack’s numbers are down,
And he knows that no frown
Can resist POTUS pup operandi.

Repellent Republicans (Limerick)

“DC’s broken right through to the core,”
Yell Republican pols as they pore
Through old laws they’d repeal
(Who needs the New Deal?)
Determined to break it some more.
