101 Conservative Limericks

Bruce Davidson of Carrollton is something of a Dallas Morning News Limerick Laureate. He started sending limericks to the DMN, and persuaded us to change our decades old 'No Poetry' rule. Our prolific poetic friend can always be found on our letters blog or in print.

101 Conservative Limericks is designed to bring a laugh through clever wordplay and also spark political thought on the more serious ones, if there is such a thing.


These limericks first appeared online (and sometimes in print) in the Dallas Morning News and on the author's "The Limerick Guy" blog, where they ran regularly for nearly four years, numbering approximately 350 in total. The cream of the crop is within these pages: 101 "righter-than-left" poems ranging from contemporary headlines like Benghazi and immigration to the final days of the "Obamadastrain" and the rise of "Hillary Dillary Dock."
