TGHusker Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Since we have a political cartoon thread, how about a political limerick thread. Make them up or copy them from another source. The Tulsa World makes space for them in the Sunday paper. Interesting to read. A limerick is a form of verse, usually humorous and frequently rude, in five-line, predominantly anapestic meter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme. Here is my first creation: Oh, what a sight that is so Sweet To not see an hourly Presidential Tweet New President cannot Rest Works hard at Resolute Desk While the old 45 is put out on the Street TG 1 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 From the Tulsa World today Jan 6 remembered: It started with an incitement speech. That ended with the capital breech. We know the name Of who to blame. The House had every right to impeach. (by John Krueger, Tulsa) Where's Bernie Now?: Everybody is smitten With Bernie cozy in his mittens. At every turn we're feelin' the Bern, And meming everywhere he's sittin', (by Susan DeBartolo, Tulsa) 1 Link to comment
