Laughing Along With A Limerick
You don’t have to look far to see the mad March hare. He stands in front of a big White House in Washington, DC.
the March winds prevail
bringing a sorrow and guilt
blowing the dark evil ways

mad as a hatter they used to say
this is merely another way

while innocent children suffer the slay
where is the angel of peace you say
flown with the mad march hare this day.
