Limerick Ode To Timid Mitt Romney

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

Dear Romney, it’s time to take heed:
The job of a leader’s to lead.

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

But our debt ceiling says we can’t pay.
“Increase me,” it squeals,
But my wife says, “No deals!

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!
