As Ohio’s GOP ramps up its assault on democracy, #FridayLimericks take notice. #LimerickRhyme
While the national GOP strives
To bring chaos and shake up our lives,
In Ohio they seek
To make voters’ rights weak—
And these ghouls are still sharpening knives.

This is not a new push from these jerks;
It’s a power grab long in the works.
They’re a party that’s marred
By a deep disregard
For the folks they like less than their perks.

As they look to hold everyone back,
Education is under attack.
They would change all the rules,
Send less money to schools—
And yet still knock the budget off track.

While they cut into public school cash,
That’s just part of their right-wingward dash.
If diversity’s taught,
They think colleges ought
To have funding removed in a flash.

The abortion laws this group enacts
Have been quite irresponsible acts.
Doctors sound the alarm
Of these bills causing harm;
Repubs’ feelings don’t care about facts.

Since constituents won’t get on board,
The republicans struck a new chord.
They’re proposing a way
To keep voters at bay—
Give themselves still more power to hoard.

If their brazen amendment should pass,
Then our power for change falls en masse.
It entrenches the pain
Of minority reign
In a gambit astoundingly crass.

And the claim that these cretins now make
Is that local control is at stake.
It’s a most brazen lie
Paid with funds from this guy—
Yes, our GOP’s still on the take.

If democracy matters to you,
There’s no question of what you must do.
If Ohioans rise,
We can reclaim the prize
Of democracy’s promise anew.
