Greenback Blood

Rogue, conniving, greedy leeching tick
Smells of money's fresh ink, makes me sick
Tailored suits, polished shoes
Bet you have green stool ooze!
Money makes green blood, sweat, tears and tricks!


For the lawyer limerick by Carolyn D.

PS I know you were not talking about my son, just the lawyers that give the others such a bad name!

Doris, I can tell how much you do NOT like slimy lawyers with this one. Right now the ones graduating cannot find work. I think my son will do a lot of good as a lawyer. He just started out and he prosecutes molesters and abusers in a very tiny town. His pay is terrible and I don't know how he will ever pay back his grant. It's too bad the few bad eggs in the profession get to prosper while good ones can't even find work! Great meter in your poem.LUv, Andrea
