Lotsa Limericks - It Couldn't be Verse

              1. Big Brother

Big Brother's protecting his mice

with a secret eavesdropping device.

          If you hang up the phone

          he'll just send in a drone

when a warrant won't really suffice.

              2. Neutrality

The internet's meant to be free

yes, for all, such as you, such as me.

          But now there's some doubt -

          will it lose all its clout

with the death of neutrality's spree?

              3. Privacy

'twas surely our forefather's dread

all our emails would someday be read.

          Now that push comes to shove

          by the powers above,

private thoughts must remain in your head.

                   4. Guantanamo

Guantanamo bay's a resort

where the fishing's a fabulous sport -

          with your back on a board

          tepid water is poured

spawning tales for a kangaroo court.

                   5. Banks

To bountiful bailouts give thanks

for there's nothing much richer than banks -

          making money galore

          taking homes from the poor

while they're managing mortgaging pranks.

                   6. Health

If you live in the States don't get sick

(lest a cut of the upper class clique).

          Whether injured or ill

          all they'll  give you's a pill -

if you're lucky you'll surely die quick.

                   7. Economy

Our economy's doing just fine

lying dead with a slug in the spine.

          So come follow the call

          where there's money for all

and pure profit's the bottom-most line.

                   8. Safety

Vigilantes and cops are wide spread - 

as for justice… not even a shred.

          The avengers of right

          score when stalking the night

so beware of a cap in the head.
