Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

'free Speech'

'Occupiers' closed Oakland port last night

   Don't they realize that ain't very bright

      Nuts and fruits are shipped from there

         So a caution should they care

            They could be shipped to get them outta sight

(Just exercising my 'free speech' rights as well!)

Carolyn Devonshire November 6, 2011 at 9:34 AM LOL Hey, exporting is good for the economy, so why not, Bob? I know you sent this one to me earlier, but I enjoyed reading it again. Isn't it great to have the right to "free speech"? Love, Carolyn

Russell Sivey November 3, 2011 at 10:18 PM Great example of Free Speech, that seems to get smaller and smaller every day! Too many arrests it seems from each rally! Do they deserve it or is it just brutality? Thanks for you great description and the reality of it all!! Superior work!!

Gwendolen Song November 3, 2011 at 2:01 PM Your exercise of free speech is glowing, Robert. Limericking the news, are we? My favorite sort of fun! There are so many resources being wasted while these nuts exercise their rights too. Gwendolen
