Duke Beaufort Poet Limerick

Homeland Security

I'd prefer my mania back
Don't give me a panic attack
The TV heads state
Global threats are so great
As part of the blitzing wolf pack


Author's note:  Global security is the key to "homeland" security.  The real problem with this idea is that it means addressing issues rather than making a small number of people very rich while carrying on hysterically.  Is this complicated?  I think not.  I intend to do the right thing and sleep well at night.  I hope you can do the same.

Terry O'Leary February 24, 2016 at 2:25 PM Yeah... you're right... 1984 was delayed by about roughly 30 years... Great lim (as you always provide!!) Terry Duke Beaufort March 6, 2016 at 10:45 AM Terry--yes. Here we are, and it is getting only worse! What else could we expect with a media so concerned about profits. It's all quite scary. The powers in charge are really in charge.

Andrea Dietrich May 31, 2015 at 11:57 PM yeah, rich getting richer, poor getting poorer. What a world!! I hope to have time later to catch up on your limericks, my friend.
