New Year’s Limericks
CEOs’ View Of Huge
Severance Packages
While others may think there’s a taint
We CEOs think that there ain’t
Without a huge feed
Who’d bother to lead
That notion is simply too quaint
***
Global Warming
Opportunities
Though consensus is now clearly forming
That our old world is rapidly warming
Investors ain’t shook
They’ll find a new hook
And to warming investments go swarming
***
The Bush Iraq Purge
Mr. Bush has an urge for a surge
On more troops for Iraq he will splurge
When some dared oppose him
He merely deposed them
It was a most Cheney-like purge
***
Another Year Of
Painless Borrowing
There’s really no reason to fret
‘Bout the size of our national debt
Though one day they’ll bleed us
Our lenders still need us
So the time for real sweat ain’t just yet
***
The Next Shoe To Drop
Some believe Mr. Bush has a plan
Very soon to drop bombs on Iran
Though the world will cry “wacky”
That doesn’t mean jacky
Because (if he wants to) he can
