Stylite Limerick

   

Yes, he lived at the top of a pillar.
Was it “high life”? (Or just a joy-killer).
Though this Syrian ain’t
of much use as a saint,
He makes great theological filler.

Teapot Tempests of Limerick

Our election, the ballots reveal,
Was a farce and a fix and a steal.
It’s a kangaroo court–
Your attention span’s short;
But the liars continue to squeal.

The Capitol gig was no riot…
Over half of the nation won’t buy it.
Two summers before,
We had riots galore—
But the media-mongers deny it.

All the video cameras reveal
That the 6th was a minor ordeal.
They walked calmly inside;
It’s a shame Ashley died,
But it’s not like they stormed the Bastille…
