Debt Ceiling Limerick Trio

Here are three more debt ceiling limericks:

Our nation’s in trouble galore,
And the last thing we need is some more.
Yet pols in DC
Feel free to decree
“I shall get what I want. This is war.”

*****

I have many large bills to defray,
But our debt ceiling says we can’t pay.
“Increase me,” it squeals,
But my wife says, “No deals!
We’ll default. It’s the Washington way.”

*****

As the pols in DC vent their spleen
Over actions that should be routine,
Our land’s on the brink
Of a crisis some think
Was created on purpose. Obscene!

*******

    Here’s one I just wrote. Enjoy!

    There’s an end to this Debt Ceiling Fight?
    Alas, nothing’s quite black and white.
    Each side makes its case,
    If just to save face.
    A pause, but an end? None’s in sight!

    Hansi, me too. Mark, we’ve got our ending … and it’s a bad one.
