Politicians

Limerick Challenge Week 49: Satire

They make lots of promises before the election

They forget everything after the election

Oh! these politicians

And their ambitions

Makes them bend over backward to win the election

Gutter Journalism

Since Eric Alagan

has wrapped his post- Gutter- 33 word flash-fiction-  I thought why not post it here as a poem.

            Gutter

Journalists from the gutter press
in search of some sensational story
or picture
indifferent to the anguish of a mother
searches for a suitable title
ignores cries of the mother
asking for help

as her child fell into the gutter
