Politician's Payback

Our Senator thought he’s flying high, then with dented pride he wondered why, he received his reward, the walking eagle award, ‘cause he’s so full of poop he can’t fly.

Hi Andrea … with politicians, we do have to mock them a bit. Nothing else seems to shake them up - thank you Andrea - Lindsay

Sadly, polititians are full of premises they don't keep. It never changes. I enjoyed the humor in this Limerick Lindsay. : )

Great limericks, Lindsay and brought a smile to me mug and believe me I need that today. Sadly, I must report that my wife Vera passed away this past Thurs - we were married 66 years and I miss her so much. She fought a courage battle with Parkinsons Disease for about 10 years - Bob

Bob, this is such a shock to wake up to. I would like to send my condolences to you and your family. I know you will many wonderful memories to cling to, but nothing replaces 66 years of togetherness - I'm thinking of you Bob - Lindsay
