laughing stock [Limerick - November fun]

Submitted by raj on Fri, 2018-11-02 14:42

Is America getting weak
painting a picture bleak
a few thousand immigrants
become an irritant
making the POTUS shriek?

he feels fear is the key
for making them flee
calling it an invasion
a false accusation
his base cheers in glee

pointing finger at immigrants
they're terrorists he grunts
but the two who committed crime
not long ago but in recent time
are home grown and blunt

blaming media as biggest enemy
makes believe, not a parody
exception but is only Fox
rest of them go for a toss
a case of misplaced identity

Style / type: 
Structured: Western
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
Just for fun...not contest stuff
Editing stage: 
Editing - rough draft

you had finished it better. You left the rhythm and pattern hanging!

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

thanks Geezer for reading and noted your comment....it is unfinished because the impact of his lies and rhetoric would be known in a few days....and what would happen when the caravan arrives on the border would be seen in about a month or more...

Thanks Mark for taking time to read and comment on the string of these Limericks....good to know you caught the sarcastic tone in the present context ....

I may add that I have written this fun and not for the November contest...
