Thanksgiving Limerick For DC Pols
Serious fiscal negotiations are (or at least should be) going on right now in Washington DC. And whether you think we’re facing a “fiscal cliff,” or more of a “fiscal incline,” here’s a Thanksgiving message to Washington politicians: Please talk turkey and work something out that makes sense for our nation.
Thanksgiving Limerick For DC Pols
By Madeleine Begun Kane
It’s time for some serious talk.
Please don’t bitch or complain, and don’t balk.
Our issues are great—
Act before it’s too late.
So kindly talk turkey. Don’t squawk.

amen. lets get some solutions instead of bravado
Serious talk can be murky
The result is often quirky
Boehner’s blather of cliffs
Too easily miffs
But we’re dealing with a Washington turkey.
It’s time for some serious talks
Instead of threats to take walks
Off a cliff that’s called fiscal
We know it’s all mythical
The fable of austerity hawks.
The talks aren’t so serious
They’re becoming delirious
Boehner’s still balking
With threats he is walking
This bird’s stuffing is mysterious.
Happy T-day, Mad! (In Our House, “T-Day” stands for “Tofu Day”!)
Happy Turkey, Mad One!
It’s not the “fiscal” matters they should talking about, though – it’s jobs.
Thanks Steve and Avedon. I agree Avedon and Brain.
Fun verse, John!
