New-Millennium Child Care:  
Yuppie Version of Pet Care (a limerick)(du20000507-01)
(Can you say "taxpayer funded"? -- Better yet, can you say "Hillary Care") 
    I'm tired of the whining and frets 
    by couples who have kids as pets 
    The proper child care is a Mother who's there-- 
    not someone who's paid to hear frets.
    Too many women fall prey 
    to outlandlish notions that they 
    must have a career 
    to satisfy peers 
    and leave kids with strangers all day .
    Why do career gals suppose 
    that others should pay through the nose,
    so they can pay less 
    for care they think best 
    so they can keep up with the Jones? 
    My boys were quite lucky guys 
    as apples of their Mama's eyes.
    She had a career 
    but quit without fear 
    to be Mom for her special guys.
    She could have preferred a career 
    and sent them to child-care to rear,
    but she knew it best 
    that we all have less 
    for them to have more of her near .
    Should one-income couples pay more 
    in taxes for child-care galore,
    so two-income fam'lies 
    can sample life's candies 
    and pay less for child-caring chores? 
    Of course the right answer is "No." 
    So who does that leave-- Do you know? 
    Those two-income fam'lies 
    and grandads and grannies-- 
    and college-kid's parents-- but whoa ! 
    All in those groups will say "No, 
    we just can't afford to pay mo' "
    Who, then, is left 
    to be made bereft 
    for yuppies to keep up their show? 
    Who should be brought to their knees 
    to pay for such big-spending sprees? 
    Please don't tax me, 
    and do not tax thee, 
    instead tax that guy who's behind the big tree

When Everyman Becomes an Investor. (a limerick) (du20000417-01)
    Now that we have quite a lot 
    of people investing in stocks,
    many have learned 
    that nothing is earned 
    without risks from bottom to top.
    And so as more people invest 
    to get the returns that are best,
    there's hope that they will  
    stop falling for shills  
    who claim gov'ment goodies are best
