Again, no sixes to give, but I love it. I always was a sucker for good intelligent limericks. And, that is quite a fanciful picture you have chosen.

Thanks for sharing.

This was a hoot. Great play on the JB title.
You are so succinct and wickedly funny.
Good old boy, Rush, somehow just lends himself to a Limerick.
Great little ditty; too bad Rush isn't witty.

I love your humorous review, thank you, my friend - I'm up in the middle of the night because of kids making noise outside that woke me up - so your humor is much appreciated :-) Brooke

I got a laugh out of this one, talk about an entity. He's larger then life, whether he is considered a hero or villain. I do see that James Bond quality. I regret that he isn't on my play list as that is about the only time I get any sleep during the day.

Well written and while I enjoy talk-radio, one does has to decide for themselves by considering the emotional fog of it all. However, the hosts can be harshest on the one's that they support. These days, I tend to enjoy the hosts that are independent in political sway. More verifiable facts tend to be cited.

What I also enjoy about this limerick is that while it has its humor, it makes a good point that can be applied to all media and public people. We should always ask ourselves with things presented, are they supplying us with a dream or is this change practical for our futures. The worst talk show is the one that goes on in my head, boy if that every gets the Mic.

Glad that I came across this one, hope I shouldn't have made this rant a bit more scant!

Well, I sure hope my limerick gets across my point of view that he is NO hero to me!!!!! Thanks, Mike :-) Brooke

It does come across very well and I will take down my portrait of him out of defference to you. LOL, No, I'm just kidding. I enjoy talk radio, but ironically the one's that I admire most are one's that I don't necessarily like. I did ask myself why and it is a combination of the information that comes from them and their ability to make on think. Also, you have their idology and how the press presents things, but at times the most valuable information comes from the people, whether liberal or conservative that were there and can accurately describe what was behind the scenes.

Maybe one day, I'll be behind the mic. Talk about polorizing people, I can make a simple statement and start a fire storm as those against an issue think I am for it and those pro think I came out con. LOL Better stick with poetry. Hey! Have a great weekend! Mike

Well, perhaps if any of them generated INTELLIGENT discussion or transmitted truthful information, my ears would pick up more! LOL Thanks, Skye, and yes, it was nice to win this one :-) Brooke

Way to bring in the big bucks.....Somewhat questionable that you, now a member of the FanStory Corporate Big Bucks on the payroll person with perks a plenty for writing such witty repartee about your enemy's favorite subject....but...when it comes to fan story dollars....we will look the other way....Congratulations.
