Don*t believe the denials

Tax Attacks

by Terry Reilly

Our new PM's known as Keir Starmer.
 
He looks like a jolly pig farmer.
 
But when he tackles Tax,
 
which he'll raise to the max,
 
it will cause such a lot of bad karma.



Party Pooper #2 writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt

Write a limerick on any political topic. Humor and wordplay are encouraged. Non-blind contest. Your limerick must follow aa-bb-a rhyming. You may have more than one stanza as long as each stanza follows the correct format.

Example written specifically for this contest:

There once was a trucker named Tucker
Who offered his viewers some succor:
When your party lacks class,
Don't take a hard pass;
Instead, clench your buttcheeks and pucker.


Here is a resource with tips on limerick cadence.

Previous political contest listings:

Political 5-7-5 #2

PM = Prime Minister.
Karma = the consequences of one*s actions.

I thought it might be kind to the many US followers of this site to give them a break from the unrelenting controversy regarding their political leaders and parties. Here in the U.K. we also have problems aplenty.
