The Kentucky Senate, with authority,
Passed with much more than majority,
A bill ‘gainst Rand Paul –
That ironically called –
Out his views as part of a “minority!”
You’ll never believe this. Work… yes actual employment, has re-entered my life and quite simply got in the way of keeping on track. I realize 7 days have passed between the June 1 entry and this one for June 2. As in the past, I shall make up this gap by leaps and bounds. Thank you for your patience, humble readers.
A word about how to read my limericks: If I end a phrase with a dash (“-”) it means that the line is meant to be read as if it were attached to the next line. Normally, for instance, there is a pause between lines in a limerick. When I use a comma at the end of a line, one should allow for the rhythmic rest, as it were. With a dash, the first syllable of the next line takes the place of that rhythmic pause. Try it out with the last three lines above — don’t take a breath and don’t “rest” or pause. You’ll see that the rhythm picks up speed and drives towards the final line.
Bye Bye Bye
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010This one requires you to pronounce “the” the short, American way… “Thu” as opposed to “Thee.” Senator Bayh was one of those Democratic Senators “on the fence” about the public option with regards to health care, and always willing to stab his own party, and his constituents, in the back. For me, that means he will NOT be missed.
You can pity weak-kneed Evan Bayh,
Deciding he wasn’t the guy,
To be our new Chief,
Now that’s a relief,
As for me I’ll gladly say Buh-Bye.
