Robert Gorelick Poet Limerick

A Corrupt Politician

A politician from a town outside Dallas
is cruel corrupt, mean and callous
He takes funding from schools
builds his friends swimming pools
and buys antiques to furnish his palace

Debra L Brown February 11, 2022 at 5:19 PM Hi! Robert, Hopefully he will find his way to a jail cell. But these days, He'll probably get nothing out of it. Depending on what party he's affiliated with. It's sad but that's what this world has come to. Enjoyed the poem, nicely written. Blessings ~ Debra Robert Gorelick February 12, 2022 at 12:21 PM Hi Debra, unfortunately things haven't changed much. Something about the human condition. Bless you Debra

Anselmo Boles February 11, 2022 at 2:32 PM If I'm not mistaken, this guy was in the news--ripping people off. Has he gone to jail or is this piece pure fiction? Regardless, this one's funny!...ab Robert Gorelick February 12, 2022 at 12:51 PM Lol, fiction based on fact, Anselmo. Robert
