Three Serious Limericks

.................... I ....................

In a hut, 'neath an African sky,
A young girl is preparing to die;
She dies all alone,
She's just skin and bone.
"What a shame!" the world's crocodiles cry.

.................... II ....................

To conquer disease it takes money
(Ask any laboratory bunny),
But the drug cartels say
"We can't give cures away".
Don't you think that's really quite funny?

.................... III ....................

And, my friends, that's just an example,
An insignificant wee little sample
Of illness and deaths,
Of children's last breaths,
Of suffering too awful, too ample.
