Both he and Michelle  
Should be locked in a cell  
For what they did to the Republican party by being the ones to kill Osama

\*I posted twice wrongly. Sorry. This limerick is not finished yet after " so glad you weren’t born" /I]  
\*\*\*The simple rules of the game, regarding ‘sequence’ have only two preclusions;

- The writer of the first line cannot write the last, and
- A contributor cannot offer two consecutive lines.

Obviously, this means that anyone can, if they wish, contribute two lines per limerick, but never three or more.

The last line, above, is legitimate so feel free to continue.\*\*\*
