Winning

by Shirley Ann Bunyan

Their policies won them the votes
with tempting, incredible quotes.
‘We’ll give you free health
and a lifetime of wealth’
Now they’re stuck up the creek with no boats.




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.
