Power

It is a privilege
To walk in the corridors of power
Many do a good job
To benefit the people

Sadly, a few abused it
With dire consequences

  4. Good show, Hank! Glad to see you back writing these ยต-fiction tales.

    Whenever I "walk in the corridors of power" it is as a guest. Those who regularly walk there have a great responsibility.

    My verdict is "woe" to those who abuse or neglect this responsibility.

  6. True enough. Nicely captured.

    (I did a quick count of 5 limericks and averaged 150 characters each. Poo.)

  10. Very nice Hank. Many abuse their power, sadly. Any power usually corrupts in the end.

  11. Nice job condensing all that into 10 characters, Hank. Privilege brings responsibility which too many, but not all, tend to ignore.
