"wait For Trickles To Spore"

Take from the rich and give to the poor
Our country expects Robin Hood’s implore
  From the top, trickle it down
  Thanks from all of us, the clown
Now we must all wait for trickles to spore

For Contest: Economic Woes Limericks
In Honor of: Carolyn Devonshire
Placed #2

Sara Kendrick Date: 6/10/2010 1:32:00 PM Certainly got a chuckle out this one...My mother said that money was made round so that it could roll...So when the the poor get a little it goes back to the rich who release it slowly...Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara Login to Reply
