The Ayes of Texas

Texans are not known for their brains Which go off the rails just like trains But why should they care? They're going nowhere Why worry who's holding the reins?

USA laws are based upon the concept of, "a reasonable man" , but no reasonable man would prohibit women from seeking medical care, nor prohibit accredited doctors from providing health care to women, but when has a Texan been concerned with, "liberty and justice for all"?

love the limerick style and beat but not the message. Although I find some of them to be "off the rail" their state is the one I wish to be in these days!!!

Hahaha NOT funny in the truth of it IMHO. But you wield a clever pen here, which might squirt some ink on the present governor’s suit…A the news has to do is say TX or FL and I start choking. Excellent import in this piece. You might work on one about our KY senator evil McConnel next, lots of rhymes for —nel

Mad Mitch clearly believes government is, "of the Party, by the Party, and for the Party" which is why Santa delivers coal to KY . . . . .

This is a good one, Rico. Much truth in it, too, but I'd be the last one to say it! LOL

Anyone who prohibits women from seeking medical treatment and prohibits doctors from providing it belongs in an asylum . . . . .
