Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

State's Rights Versus Freedom

~ Ironical-Educational Limerick ~

     Slinging southern-fried political pus
     Easy as pie for smooth-talking Russ
        He'd turn on that charm
        From down on the farm
     Convinced folks states' rights were a must

     How could slavery really be bad
     Prosperity every year they had
        But Abe Lincoln came
        Spoke in freedom's name
     King Cotton hated Abe's truth like mad

Barbara Peckham August 18, 2021 at 7:18 AM Nice limericks. And about as close to the truth as one can get! I don't write limericks, but I love them. Gershon Wolf August 18, 2021 at 7:01 PM You like 'em, I write 'em. You'll Peckham; I'll pick 'em. :)
