Randy Freie Poet Limerick

Don't Take Any Wooden Nickels

If I had a nickel for the times

Some politicians committed crimes 

How my money would soar

Maybe twice as before 

I could turn those nickels into dimes


Then I could buy a Senator's seat

Kick back, relax, and put up my feet

I'd promise everyone 

But then get nothing done 

And take a ride along easy street


So as a permanent resident 

On laws needed I'd be hesitant 

Though when my bill passes

It would fleece the masses

And one day they'd make me President

Joyce Faure June 17, 2024 at 11:11 AM Enjoyed thanks Randy Freie June 17, 2024 at 11:15 AM Hi Joyce, did you read the second part of the limerick? I think it rounds it off better. Thanks for the feedback.
