Two Limericks by Raquel Melody Guarino
Pot o’ Gold
America’s in a recession
With closures in every profession
The nurses all cry
As more people die
With 12-hundred bucks in possession
Oh Jesus
The virus is getting quite bad
But the president thinks it’s a fad
As the numbers still lurch
“I’ll see you in church!”
Says Don, a positive lad
