Buffalo – Polimericks

Occasional Limerick #27, May 25,2022

Headline: Buffalo, Uvalde Shootings Unlikely to Result in Gun Legislation

They’ll all wring their hands for a day

And tell you they’ll think and they’ll pray.

But the saddest of facts

Is that none of them acts.

They just wait ’till the screams die away.

Headline: Tucker Carlson Tries to Distance Himself from Buffalo Shooting

Tuck said we’re being replaced

And had to take action in haste –

And so, folks, the toll and cost

Is just one more holocaust…

The man’s a despicable waste.

Headline: Multiple Mass Shootings Renew Calls for Gun Control

I wonder why you are so willing

To tolerate all of this killing?

Your thoughts and your prayer

Are nothing but air.

Your failure to act is just chilling.

Headline: Trump Suggests Buffalo Pushing Incident “Could be a Set-Up”

He won’t quite accuse. He’ll insinuate.

He’ll imply, but but he won’t disambiguate.

He’ll use his position,

To stir up suspicion.

If questioned, he’ll snarl and equivocate.
