   There once were five men from D.C.
   Who turned justice to travesty
   They turned every jail
   Into the next Chippendale’s
   So the cops could see more man-titty!

   Why go into court
   When at the Irish Times bar
   You can buy a jusice
   For a pint of GUINNESS

     Hello, VC,

     Thanks for your contribution.

     Sad, but, maybe, true…

   Chief Justice John Roberts is a clown
   He turns privacy rights upside-down
   So now we will find
   Justice more than blind
   Doing a Perp walk with her pants down!

   Thanks to Kennedy, Roberts, Scalia,
   And their pals, cops can strip ya and see ya.
   They don’t need any reason:
   It’s strip searching season.
   Our privacy’s gone! Mama mia!

       Great to meet you and discover your fun site! Thanks for the kind words! Yes, I’ve been writing political satire for a really long time and write lots of political limericks.

       By the way, we have other things in common: I grew up on Long Island (Massapequa Park) and currently live in Bayside, And I worked as an oboist for many years. I’ll be stopping by often as well.

   There once were five men in DC,
   Whose judgment–a travesty,
   It says “Strip searches all the time
   No matter what the crime,
   Is OK,” so much for being free.

   Limericks submitted via e-mail from Jeff A/Pisces:

   The Court has privacy rights repealed
   And an officer my body revealed
   His eyes opened wide
   In horror he cried,
   “M’gosh what a weapon he concealed!!”

   _________________

   In the 70’s people took off all their clothes
   And got arrested for streaking exposed
   But now fully clad
   If picked up for being bad
   The Court’s reversed the order, I suppose.

   _________________

   Most people view cops as protectors
   Against indecency and salation: deflectors
   But now part of each probe
   The accused must disrobe
   Giving new meaning to the rank of ‘inspectors!’

   _________________

   Innocent till guilty was Law of the Land
   Now High court rules privacy can be canned
   Since against crime we’re tough
   You’ll be stripped to the buff
   And the Forth Amendment shall be Damned!

    There once were five judges on SCOTUS
    That said it was fine to unclothe us
    They said “feel away!”
    “We think its okay!”
    I think they should hang by their scrotus

    Citizens United declares
    A person’s rights the corporation now shares
    So it’s about time
    When accused of a crime
    Big Business must show off its ‘wares!

      Jeff,

      I think you should put together a chapbook with these.

      Very cool how you can churn out limericks.
