Kevin's Limerick of the Day

Laugh it Off

The merry old jokester demurred
Declaring to him it occurred
He didn’t need thanks
From comedy ranks
A pun’s its own kind of re-word

‘When the secretary was asked repeatedly at a press conference if “Operation Economic Outcast” would target Beijing, he demurred, without mentioning China directly: “No one is above the reach of U.S. sanctions.”’ That’s the key flaw in OEO - China.

Spanish public are protesting. Aiming their protests at the wrong target.
Spain criticises Israel; Israel & US strike deal with Morocco; a coordinated mass incursion into a Spanish enclave follows & the vast majority return to Morocco without demur. Surely it’s not just me who makes the connection?
