"useless Sources, Political Fleas, Stench Isn'T Cheese"

“Useless Source”

I know some men called, big shots,
Who are filled with much bull snot.
Be careful of it’s use,
For of it there is no spruce.
A men of substance, but no real plot!

“Political Fleas”

Most all of strife’s parasitic forces,
Most always found driving their Porsches.
Poor seen of lesser degree,
Haven’t a pot to pea.
For common good vote out useless sources.


“Stench Isn’t Cheese”

Useless sources, political fleas,
Men of means, pass the bailout please.
Poor have given it their all,
As Uncle Sam called .
The stench on the hill, is not cheese.

The first is anger. The second one is pragmatic. The third one is worthy of a bumber sticker. John, You have caught most of it for me. You do good work in this form, sir. Gerard.

Very good limericks, John. I think the meter is just fine!! I don't recall reading that iambic pentameter was necessary to limericks. You are a great teacher, my friend, and there is a lesson in each of these super limericks. Love, Carolyn

I heard a representitive on the news, yelling and dramatizing his speech. I think even they are tired of the bull snot.
