Free range greed won’t work/
Lesson cost billions, again/
Bring our banks to heel/

Taking turns being the prick/
Safe seats pull this trick/

A haiku epic:
Paws deep in the jar/
Greed is good, for them not you/
Silk tie double dip/
The magician/
Dulls your sense with trivia/
Theft hides in plain sight/
Millions for culprits/
We obsess on bonuses/
Billions melt away/
Mad bailout lenders/
Masochist taxpayers/
Might end in anger?/

Doctor please speak plain/
Make clear this ache on our land/
Let’s get the dose right/

Not one lonely vote/
Compromise seems so quaint now/
Way to go Einsteins/
One track fail mantra/
Tax cuts for the big donors/
Chant on cable news/
Your base eats it up/
Til they lose their job or home/
They will remember/
We tried your way/
It led us to this dark pass/
You want more of this?/
You know we need you/
Not votes, but hearts and effort/
Come, move to the light/
One state, many roles/
Sit in sullen silence and/
We find a walk on/

Warm extended hand/
Gracious victor slapped back/
Repubs earn exile/

Today something different – a limerick on McCain’s tax policy and Joe the Plumber.
McCain on taxes is a tease
Cindy’s cash bought him life’s ease
He thinks you’re dumber
“She’s like a plumber!”
Don’t touch her riches – please?!

Springtime for class war
Wall Street goons won’t go lightly
