An “America Goes Commando”- Day After The Election Limerick

I have been off the limerick trail for a while, even though the campaign trail is a gold mine for material. However, I have not found this to be an election that I wanted to write jokes about. It is, seriously, not a joking matter. I have never seen an election like this and, God willing, I will not see another one like it.

I am not a person that would express a political opinion on social media. It is not my place for that. I read a lot of political opinion on social media and it reinforces my decision to go Abe Lincoln – Better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

I will make a prediction about tomorrow, Election Day 2016. I predict there are going to be a lot of people in this country consuming a great deal of booze and weed. Regardless of who wins, America will be in need of a stiff drink and a good buzz. Tomorrow is going to be a numbing experience for many. Which means that America is going to wake up on Wednesday with a hangover.

I was thinking about this while folding my laundry. When I opened my underwear drawer I looked in, laughed, thought about what this election had done to America and when it’s over, how it’s going to feel like America is now going commando and we’re all feeling a cold breeze blowing on our private parts…….. and it’s not the blowjob we were hoping for…. and this popped into my head.

You can’t say “No” to “Just one more.”
So you wake up aching and sore.
And then your universe
Only gets worse…..
You have an empty underwear drawer.
