California proposition voting recommendations as limericks
The following recommendations are strictly those of Greenboy, not necessarily of Swopa & fubar (who prefer haiku poems in any event)
Prop 1: No
In the mythical land of Califairia
The people evinced an unusual hysteria
They voted for prodigious debt
In a lunatic bet
That they could somehow live beyond their salaria.
Prop 2: Yes
There once was a chicken named Sharm
Who was caged in a ‘factory farm’
They cut off his beak,
Threw him in shit, foul & reek
Where he suffered unspeakable harm.
Prop 3: No
See Prop 1
Prop 4: No
There once was a young teen named Jo,
Who was incestuously raped and left with embryo
Her abusive parents screamed “Abomination!”
“But there’ll be no termination”
You’ll have to bear it whether you will it or no!
Prop 5: No
We enjoy the most expensive representation
that can be found in the whole of this nation
but their duty they duck
and the people they fuck
by offering propositions to avoid legislation
Prop 6: No
The war on drugs is already insane
but now cops are demanding free rein
to trammel on rights
(mostly those of non-whites)
while snorting our dough like cocaine
Prop 7: No
See Prop 1
Prop 8: No
A San Francisco Mayor created some bedlam
When he stood before gay couples to wed ‘em
Although fundees scream “unclean!”
“Gay marriage is obscene!”
It’s the state’s job to register couples, not judge ‘em
Prop 9: No
A rich man named Sir Henry Nicholas
paid for a proposition exceeding ridiculous
because without a doubt
a Federal judge will sure throw it out
if on constitutional points he is meticulous
Prop 10: No
See Prop 1
Prop 11: No
I tell you with straightforward candor
that I’m against districts that gerrymander
but to understand this redistricting scheme
is a challenge supreme
One that even could beat old Lysander
Prop 12: No
See Prop 1
