Limericks / Obama Limerick (July 23, 2009)

Thank you for reading it.

If you like this genre, and not afraid of a bunch of them in one spot (the largest single-author collection of political limericks today, as far as I can tell) – take a look at www.obamafu.com; there, I have posted 300+ of them…

Glad to please you – and thank you for looking at them once in a while.

The rhyme scheme with “docket”, “lock it” etc. takes its root from the most famous (and probably, the bawdiest) limerick cliche of all times, “There once was a man in Nantucket…”, and it is a hard one to execute – I took this as an exercise, sort of a challenge, and so far, the response has been mixed, but more on the positive side.

I am also, in a way, cheating – I write limericks posted at www.obamafu.com, there are 250+ of them already and every day, or every few days, the new ones are posted. Here I just post selectively a few – if I were to re-post all of them here, I will probably be banned from Urbis forever “for misuse of a limited poetic form for unlimited political purposes”...

Thank you!

Thank you for reading it, and for your kind words. If you liked it, you may want to look at www.obamafu.com, where I have posted over 250 of these (at this number, it is obvious that the quality is not even, but there are a few better than the one you already read) – and more are coming every few days, sometimes, daily.
Once again – I am glad you liked it.

Thank you for reviewing it. If you liked it, you may want to look at www.obamafu.com where I have posted 200+ of these…

Thank you for your kind words. There are more of these – in fact 200+ more – at www.obamafu.com – please come visit.

Thank you for reading it. I have posted 200+ more at www.obamafu.com – you may want to take a look.

Thank you for reading it. Occasionally, regional differences make lines sound different – could you please tell me, where exactly, in which lines, there are too many syllables? I am listening very attentively to every comment I get around here – fire at will.

Thank you for reading it.

Barack (Obama) has been mentioned there once, and the title for this and several other limerics here at Urbis comes from the entire series – 200+ limericks I wrote – posted now at www.obamafu.com.

All of these limericks have something to do with Mr. Obama’s presidency. I post them here one at a time, under the same “serial” name, so they are easier to locate.

Ah ok, i saw that Barack was mentioned i just didn’t see much else it had to do with.  I understand now though.  Sorry for not understanding.

It truly is a good work.
