Pol'Tics One - Percents

Us neanderthals drag knuckles
and share our anamorphic chuckles
while rich get richer
so we can *****, ‘er,
take another notch in our buckles

Effective humor almost always has an element of truth, as this wonderful limerick demonstrates. Exceptionally well done; I loved every line.

Busses are metro-edge. Down here I gotta bike it (some ride ponies;-) Thanks for writing instead of fighting — pol'tics is a topic I avoid, but I thought I'd blow off steam with some pol'tic lims the next few days. Have a cubbie day Timmie! ~ j
