Not a limerick in meter nor rhyme. Were you overcome with jealousy, wrath or hyperbole?

There once was a man from Manhattan
Whose opponents he wanted to flatten.
He thought he could win
And hide every sin,
If his lawyers would only speak Latin.

Poetic license meets projection.

Poetic license met projection

When resentment pointed the direction

The motives of all

Were labeled banal

When the dancer mollassed her diction.

This rolls more limericky. Better word for wanton?

There was a fat man called Trump
that intelligent people saw as a Chump
when he took office
he made friends with Boris
and sent flowers to him
via a florist.

Gasp!

The rhyme scheme is a-a-b-b-a.

The rhythm goes 3-3-2-2-3.

Unless you want to take license with the limerick form.

gaffo
Some good solution needs to be found somehow.
I don´t have one but if well-intentioned people relax and forward peace maybe a solution will occurr to someone.

all was peace with the UK in the EU, now that the UK is no longer - not so easy.

only two solutions - per refuerdum = and assuming the vote to to leave the UK in NI - peace.

or no reforendum. or reforedum to remain in the UK by the NI people. then a Wall/border - as it was from the 1960's to 1998.

its that simple.

there are no other options at this point, Brexit removes any other options. this is just simple fact/logic.

There was a man from Brazil
who ate a dynamite pill
his belly retired
his bum backfired
and his willy shot over the hill.

A feisty old man named Magoo
Took a walk with only one shoe
When the dog asked him why
He said, I cannot lie
I just do what I gotta do.

After the dog did his do in the grass
He said to the man, you’ve got brass
This yard is my house
You do in your house
But first, better bag up that mass.

Magoo said, I gotta find my shoe
They’re my only pair and brand new
Dog said, I’ll save you some time
It’s buried back under that pine
Where the grass is still damp from the dew.

Those are clever ones, Walker.
