Way back in two thousand and eight,
A Bulgarian went out quite late,
And never came back.
It’s “okay” to attack,
And murder the people you hate.

Our rulers have made a big mess,
Of this issue, but still I must stress,
That protecting kids’ rights,
Can’t be stopped by those shites,
So vote Yes, I said Yes, I said Yes.
John Moynes
Unless you think you can do better?
Oh yes, it’s a Friday Children’s Ref’ ‘Rick-off.
All Limericks by 3pm.

Something something MItt.,
Something something a bit
Something.
Etc.

Just one day left to strut and to preen,
For our candidates, ever so keen.
Is it too close to call?
Oh God, no. Not at all.
C’est fini, roll on 2016.

I really cannot understand,
How this nightmare deal ever was planned,
He defeated the Sith,
But it’s taking the pith,
To make Luke stand in Disneyland.

UNLESS…
You can do better.
Yes, it’s a Stars Wars/Disney ‘Rick off.
Best Limerick wins a pumpkin.

UPDATE: we have a winner:
Sam, who sent it three (!). A bit needy but what the hell…
Take a story involving Jedi
plagiarised from the old samurai
and when it all stinks
cos of dumb Jar Jar Binks
Tell disney to give it a try…
So this how old sagas die
said the world wearied master Jedi
a chorus of cheers
for a mouse with big ears
“A Womp Rat he’s like to my eye”.
Star Wars fans complain and curse
That disney will make it far worse
They think it right silly
to watch Sith Steamboat Willie
choke Donald while using the force
While we struggle for what we think’s true,
Self critique can never be taboo,
We must face the facts,
In our deeds and our acts,
That our own mob can be dickheads too.

Dutch arty types are annoyed,
To lose Gauguin, Matisse and L. Freud,
To some scumbag who’ll pay,
To secrete a Monet,
That all of us should have enjoyed.

Republican running mate Paul,
Staged a deeply obscene photo call,
Where he washed a clean pan,
Like a nice caring man,
While actually doing fuck all.

Democracy starts and ends here,
In the land that we all once held dear,
To see the left choose,
To start blaming the jews,
Is proof that the whole world’s gone queer.
