Trump’s Bravery Claims Are All Wet (Limerick)

Tuesday, February 27th, 2018

The Donald’s a cowardly fella,
Who has bravery fantasies stella.
He’d save kids, he’ll maintain,
Though (I guess) not from rain:
Watch him hogging his big-ass umbrella.

Our Brave Oval Knave (Limerick)

Monday, February 26th, 2018

This CNN headline cries out for a limerick: “Trump on Florida shooting: ‘I really believe I’d run in there, even if I didn’t have a weapon'”

Dear Donald: How lovely to know
That you’d bravely and willingly go
T’wards a gunman to save
High school students! You knave,
How’re those bone spurs of yours? What a schmo!

Pro-Life??? (Limerick)

Sunday, February 25th, 2018

Viewing DACA, Head Start, WIC with scorn,
Pushing guns, while their victims still mourn.
Cutting taxes is key!
The “pro-life” GOP
Is ONLY pro-life till you’re born.

Open Limerick To NRA TOOLS

Thursday, February 22nd, 2018

Dear NRA lovers and tools:
“Armed teachers protecting our schools?”
This insults the police
Who FULL-TIME keep the peace.
Sniper skills ain’t a hobby, you fools!

Conspiracy Theorists Are Up In Arms (Limerick)

Wednesday, February 21st, 2018

“The high school survivors are actors,”
Claim the gun-demonstration detractors.
“And they’re liberal plants
Coached by dads, mothers, aunts.” —
Anti-gun-control’s prime malefactors.

Trump’s Female Sycophants (Limerick)

Sunday, February 11th, 2018

“Why Won’t The Women Walk Out Of The Trump White House?” ( A good question from Nicole Belle of Crooks and Liars.)

Why are women still working for Trump?
His team’s a misogynist dump.
Yet they stay and defend him
And clearly can’t mend him.
Seems ambition trumps all in that sump.

Trump’s “Due Process” Views (Limerick)

Saturday, February 10th, 2018

Trump’s bemoaning an ex-staffer’s plight:
The lack of due process ain’t right!
Rob denies he abused
Those three gals. The accused
Rates due process, if male and if white.

Rand Paul’s Deficit Hypocrisy (Limerick)

Thursday, February 8th, 2018

Paul is feigning a “principled stand”
Against deficits, bolst’ring his brand.
But his vote to cut tax
Helped the deficits wax;
His is really a “Don’t Spend” demand.

Trump’s Ego On Parade (Limerick)

Wednesday, February 7th, 2018

“Grand” Parade — Donald’s latest crusade,
Where our milit’ry might is displayed.
It’s to “honor the troops,”
He claims. Oh, but OOPS!”
It’s a TRUMP-Ego-BOOSTING charade.

Trump v. Mueller (Limerick)

Tuesday, February 6th, 2018

NYT Headline: “In Russia Inquiry, Lawyers Tell Trump to Refuse Mueller Interview”

Trump’s lawyers, to no one’s surprise,
Gave him counsel which many think wise:
When Mueller says “Talk,”
Just refuse. Simply balk…
Because Trump can’t resist telling lies.

A Trumpian Hero (Limerick)

Monday, February 5th, 2018

On Twitter the Donald has writ,
Praising Nunes for “courage” and “grit.”
He’s a “Hero,” Trump adds.
(Donald’s so fond of cads!)
Arrest BOTH men and DO NOT ACQUIT!

Something Else Trump Has In Common With Putin? (Limerick)

Monday, February 5th, 2018

To Donald, Dem-clapping’s his due.
Much ado must be made, or he’ll stew.
Now he’s flapping his jaws,
Claiming treason because
Dems denied him applause. Let him sue!

The Devil In The Oval? (Limerick)

Friday, February 2nd, 2018

When the market is up, Donald crows
And boasts about HIS market close.
Now it’s down “666,”
But Trump’s got a fix:
Only mention the DOW when it grows.

*****
Alternative Version:

When the market is up, Donald crows
And boasts about HIS market close.
With a huge diminution,
Here’s Donald’s solution:
Only mention the DOW when it grows.
