Limerick #2

[tectak]

When once your as poor as a dust bunny
And nothing in life seems so funny
Just look at the masses
With their higher taxes
And imagine them drowning in honey

This is the last time
If you find you're poor as a dust bunny Needs heavy accentual imprinting to make this work...is it hitting you on the nose yet. Say "...poor as a dust bunny" and compare to "...just no longer funny. " Do you feel the need to say " poor AS a DUST bunny" to match with "just NO lonGER funny". By the by, what the hell is a dust bunny anyway.
and life is just no longer funny,
have a larf at the masses,
at least them wot pays taxes,
and imagine them drowning in honey.

I still don't get your joke (or mine), and a joke or neat twist is quintessential in all good limericks, but how funny is that?
Best,
tectak
