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

Hi Kim, if you liked that, I just added a third part to the limerick. It adds to the amusement. Say hello to my fellow seafarer baby sister.

Hi Joyce, did you read the second part of the limerick? I think it rounds it off better. Thanks for the feedback.
