The Rioteer

The  Rioteer



There was a rioteeering lady named Trixie,

Who with folks of her kind liked to mixy.

With bats and rocks she headed out,

To hit an officer in his snout.

She now does time in a jail cell in Dixie!

Sadly not much respect for the law any where now. I enjoyed your Limerick Panagiota, this form I would also like to try. Emilia xx

Try it...they are fun. Emilia, I forget my Poems once posted as I am too busy on the next one and commenting. Wanted to add, I appreciate those who make comments. I think it's fun replying, it's like emails between us.-)) Things are goofy, but after awhile it's boring and insanely stupid. Things are changed by unity not hatred and disrespect. Thanks for reading this, you instill confidence in me. Limerick and Senryus coming UP in two hours....Pangie xx

Hello Panagiota … is it like Australian courts Panagiota? Sympathy seems to always be directed at the perpetrators. A bad childhood; addiction etc. all are genuine causes it appears for breaking the law - thanks Panagiota - Lindsay

Lindsay you kill me, honestly! The USA, from my point of view, sucks up to any victim story. People are treated like seven year olds instead of grown criminals. The governors of most states like nothing better than all victims. Hence, CA imports the homeless so the working folks can pay for them. You are evil if successful here. Work is work and gives folks character. It's so hot here, Lindsay! As you know we have an outbreak of law breaking in progress! Don't know when it will stop. Maybe in winter? ))) Thanks..,,Panagiota

She's lucky to be alive, a lot of bad cops about but a lot of good ones too. First limerick, they are addictive. Tom.

Tom you are a master at limericks...me? A baby. I would never be a policeman today. Rioteers are far more respected. Policemen have to protect cities, not coddle rabble rousers. Policemen are moving targets all year. Anarchists out to do them in add the TV channel from hell! Police come in all colors too. We need humaneness not toms of profaneds. Thanks Tom Love Panagiota xoxo
