shootings – Polimericks

Occasional Limerick #30: May 31, 2022

Headline: At NRA Convention, Trump Advocates Heavily Armed and Fortified Schools

At Donald J. Trump Elementary

We’ve seven armed guards at the entry.

Our fences cause shocks

And the teachers pack Glocks,

And the lunch lady acts as the sentry.

We’re all of us heeled, you can bet!

If strangers show up, we’re all set.

And here we are taught

To ban books and thought,

As they are the far greater threat.

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.
