Notes About The Poem

Granted temporary license to change the limerick rhyme scheme a tad here...

Senseless Census Interference

"I'm from the Census Bureau," I said
"You're from the U.S. government, I dread"
     So I asked him his name
     He replied, "Putin-tame"
~ Ha! I'll have to deport you, all the same!"
