Better to rhyme than to whine!

                        CONVENTIONAL LIMERICKS

         

Democratic

Joe’s loyal-- times one and a half.

His speech does him proud (plus his staff).

            He toes party line,

            Does exceedingly fine.

And he does it without any gaffe.

Barack shows us a better path

With the biblical phrase that he hath.

            Middle class to the fore!

            Let the rich give some more.

Like Clinton we’ll just do the math.  

    

Republican

Clint Eastwood’s an elderly actor,

Whom “The Right” thought a positive factor,

            But he cursed to a chair—

            He was so “not-quite-there”--

That he ruined their set like a tractor.

Paul Ryan is handsome: with youth,

Slick black hair and a smile full of tooth;

            But he plays with the facts

            Of who’ll raise the tax.

“Undecideds” will ask “where’s the truth?”
