Limericks / PINK POLITICS

Sucks about the plagiarism thing. Nice limerick though! Politics are a dirty rotten thing, but they make our nation go round. It’s a dreamers wishful thinking but imagine a world with politicians grew successful by telling the truth! A world with the Government was elected by people who actually wanted this person to run their city, state, or country, and didn’t just have to settle for the “lesser of two evils”. What a world that would be…/...sigh. ;)

Your note to reviewer begs the question: did YOU write this?
how was it plagarized?

Your limerick does not employ the standard acceptable
form for limericks in lines 3 and 4.

rather than 8-8-5-5-8, or 8-8-5-5-9, 9-9-6-6-9 or 9-9-6-6-10
you use 9-9-5-5-9 which does not work as it breaks from the
syllabic-stress pattern that limericks should follow.

If you are going to hold to 5 beats for line 3 then you could
change Lines 4 & 5 as follows to conform to stress/syllabl pattern:

“AS my senator might
THEN see … asses.”

that makes the rhythm continue to flow as expected even if you do
break with the time-honored form.

Otherwise, you could simply rewrite lines 3 and 4 to be 6 syllables each.

i think you could rework the beginning lines, first two as amatter of fact.i think your limmerick witty and honest in it’s twist at the end,and,it flows well no problems that i can read with the rhythm scheme!
      thanx !

Not bad. though your 4th and 5th lines are technically supposed to have 6 syllables apiece, you make it work with 5. It’s too bad that we cannot always trust the people in politics who represent us and the people in politics do not always represent the interests of the people.
