Looking Back by Fuller Royal

Limericks by Bob Aldrich

On a bright mid-August afternoon
The sun’s light will be blocked by the moon
It’s a solar eclipse
Not an apocalypse
Normal sunshine returns very soon

National legislation’s a mess
It is rampant with partisan stress.
When it’s time to pass laws
And correct legal flaws,
Our weak Congress goes on a recess

Early August brought tropical rain
At a rate our storms rarely sustain.
It was a big deluge
Surface flooding was huge
With no chance for the rainfall to drain.
