Limerick Ode To A Government Shutdown
Limerick Ode to A Government Shutdown
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The thought of a government shutdown
Should be quickly, decisively cut down.
But I fear that we’re screwed
Cuz of Washington’s mood:
Boehner’s party has turned into Nut Town.

The thought of a government shutdown
in the face of some spending spree Lib clown;
Is it better to to park,
Or to glow in the dark
From a financial overspend meltdown?
Washington, Westminster – same applies…
Off the cuff:
The thought of a government shutdown
Brings to mind an expletive and rude noun
If X marks the spot
I’m a terrible shot
I’m having a nervous breakdown…
Oh dear, I hope it wasn’t anything I said. :)
I like the idea of agovernment shutdown:
there’s too much of it about.
A holiday from interference would be a boon.
It’s like an episode of The West Wing :)
I’m just thankful that people are paying attention to whats going on, are waking up, and will hopefully put and end to what’s be foisted upon this country by the extreme right. Thank you Wisconsin for leading the way.
Please excuse my first attempt.
Shut’er Down
With spending amuck
the taxpayer’s luck
quickly circles the drain.
With sense, not a grain, in a politico’s brain
Let’s send them all home in a truck
I don’t typically get into political discussions, but this is well done! That said, if they don’t find a way to keep paying our troops, I will be jumping on my soapbox!
The thought of a government shutdown
Is not too far-fetched for this nut/clown
My senator claims
That he has higher aims
Bu he’s in it to sit his fat butt down
and for my NaPoWriMo:
You Said It
Loved this today! I was in the mood! Amy
I’m in Madison three months now. We landed here just in time to pick up signs and yell. Now the governor has rigged the Supreme Court election, and all holy hell is going to break out.
Bring it on, Scott Walker. We will never run out of energy, or WORDS. We don’t bully – we fight for the cause.
Thanks so much to all of you for your verse, kind words, and political activism!
