Political Limericks

In the wee hours of Tuesday morning I awoke. For some reason, a few of my thoughts turned to Jamaica and the latest political scandal to plague the current administration. It's not that I was having a nightmare from which I woke up. No, the nightmare is already being played out in real life in Ja. It's just that...I think I'd retired much earlier than usual the night before.

Anyway, the thoughts began to morph into limericks! And moved from one topic to another. As I figured they would not leave me alone until they were penned, I turned on the light and put pen to paper. An hour later, the last of the early morning creative juices were poured into last one.

Later that day, I tweeted them. Well, bounced them off sis, @MizDurie, first. Then, I put them on the TL.

(Articles on the 381-megawatt energy plant/EWI/PNP brouhaha may be found here, here and here. And, of course, there's Google.)

Here, as in below, are the limericks from the wee hours of that morning:

There once was a Min'ster named Paulwell

Slicker than Squealer in Orwell

Of EWI

Cried, Jah know, I try!

Stop trying, and go! Mr. Paulwell

********

Paulwell told CG, do over!

Change ur mind, we do need the funds, sir

The CG said no

I can't do it bro

I'd be a scoundrel of highest order.

********

Corruption we're fighting too long

We're *on it* PM sang the song

Then came Azan

With his marketing plan

Seems she spelled *lovin it* wrong.

********

Prime Minister P SimpsonMiller

What's there to be said about her?

She hails from Woodhall

I guess #thatisall

Oh! And she'll fly out at dinner.

********

The legacy of the Prime Min'ster

Will be the awards on her dresser

Female PM and such

Hm. Not too much

Some people in foreign do rate her.

********

Career politicians galore

Their ideas we've heard all before

Take folks for a spin

Then they put them back in

It seems we can take much more.

********

In other news, Ontario's election will be held on June 12, 2014. The platforms are slowly taking shape. Can't say much more on that. Really.

Decisions. Decisions.
