Lotsa Limericks - It Couldn'T Be Verse

1. Big Brother Big Brother's protecting his mice with a secret eavesdropping device. If you hang up the phone he'll just send in a drone when a warrant won't really suffice. 2. Neutrality The internet's meant to be free, yes for all, such as you, such as me. But now there's some doubt - will it lose all its clout with the death of neutrality's spree? 3. Privacy 'twas surely our forefather's dread all our emails would someday be read. Now that push comes to shove by the powers above, private thoughts must now stay in our head. 4. Guantanamo Guantanamo bay's a resort where the fishing's a fabulous sport - with your back on a board tepid water is poured spawning tales for a kangaroo court. 5. Banks To bountiful bailouts give thanks for there's nothing much richer than banks - making money galore taking homes from the poor while they're managing mortgaging pranks. 6. Health If you live in the States don't get sick (lest a cut of the upper class clique). Whether injured or ill all they'll give you's a pill - if you're lucky you'll surely die quick. 7. Economy Our economy's doing just fine lying dead with a slug in the spine. So come follow the call where there's money for all and pure profit's the bottom-most line. 8. Safety Vigilantes and cops are wide spread - as for justice… not even a shred. The avengers of right score when stalking the night so beware of a cap in the head.

Terry, these are an account of the state of affairs we have. And this is just what we know about. You have done very well here. It's tough when you have an inkling of the truth, so we shall do the best we can every day, try to change things and laugh as much as we can in the process because the truth is just crazy.

6. Health--this limerick is not so funny "If you live in the States don't get sick" it arouses feelings of intense fear, horror, insecurity and distress.My God. Who says limericks are funny. Terry gives to it a new definition. Love XXX rajat

Terry, these were certainly a treat for the head, and I agree with the things that you said. That the people, we, can surely agree, we've been had by the elites and the Fed. Loved the topics and your writing.

Your political statements echo mine in these satirical limericks. You hit so many nails on the head you might as well have built a house. World is getting more and more insane by the minute... excellent, excellent!

The health one sure touched a nerve with me. It is funny but at the same time so sadly true.

They are 'funny' because of the irony... they're all sadly true... I hope your health issues are resolved soon...
