Meaningful limericks

4 (I think this is impossible) write a meaningful limerick.


LOVE
They say that in love, all is fair
but it's really a con trick, I swear
one of life's fabrications
by clothes corporations
to make us buy new underwear



The lustful choir sang when we wed
The gown we had chosen was red
We quoted John Donne
Drank champagne in the sun.

Two years on, you are distant in bed.

Hey Look, Iran!


A couple of morons called Bush
Sent soldiers into the Hindu Kush
They killed and they raped
And then they escaped
To rest for the next Christian push.
