Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Two Rights May Make a Wrong

Robin Hood felt that he was doing good
Redistributing income as he could --
  But the man in green tights
  Violated the rights --
Of the rich to throw away all that food

Janice Canerdy February 1, 2019 at 11:31 PM CONGRATS, Gershon! Janice Gershon Wolf February 2, 2019 at 11:21 PM Thank you so much, Janice! ~ gw

Caren Krutsinger February 1, 2019 at 9:12 PM Yes, and how awful was that? Probably traumatized the poor rich dears. Gershon Wolf February 2, 2019 at 11:20 PM Certainly -- tsk, tsk -- awash in all their wealth...

Andrea Dietrich February 1, 2019 at 6:42 PM Nicely done, Gershon. Congrats in the contest.

(I got dizzy, I had to look up so high there on the mountain from my lowly perch, and yet "Hope is the thing with feathers, perched..." LOL) :) gw

Carolyn Devonshire February 1, 2019 at 12:27 PM Just stopping back with congratulations on your win, Gershon. Hope you managed to stay warm this week. It even got cold here, but is warm again now. Gershon Wolf February 1, 2019 at 1:19 PM I was hunkered down at home, thanks... And just think in Japan, this poem would be titled: Two Lights Make a Long! :) gw

M. L. Kiser January 31, 2019 at 11:20 PM Oh, I love this one. Gershon Wolf February 1, 2019 at 1:20 PM Thanks, M.L. Appreciated. ~ gw

Tom Cunningham January 31, 2019 at 4:09 PM Haha nice one Gershon, I think we've all gone for Robin. Good luck. Tom. Gershon Wolf February 1, 2019 at 1:21 PM And congrats to you on your winner in the contest, Tom! ~ Gershon

Alexis Y. January 31, 2019 at 4:04 PM Hi Gershon, I like what you came up with for the contest. It was well written and clever. Although he was doing good he broke laws to do it. I looks like a winner to me. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis Gershon Wolf January 31, 2019 at 7:15 PM Thanks, Alexis. You're right: he broke laws to get his way. Does that remind you of the Democrats and Republicans of today. The ends never do justify the means. Brutus and Cassius found out the hard way in Ancient Rome (when they murdered Caesar). Nothing's changed... Best wishes, Gershon

Carolyn Devonshire January 31, 2019 at 3:53 PM :) Yes, let's just call it income redistribution. Very clever punch line too, Gershon. Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn Gershon Wolf January 31, 2019 at 7:16 PM Ha, Ha, -- I.C. sanitizes what is actually criminal theft, doesn't it? Airbrushes the crime right out of existence. It's the new American way, I guess... Thanks for the insight and for your support, Carolyn! :) gw
