GOP Quandary

Saturday, October 31st, 2020

Headline: “Trump drags down GOP senators, giving Democrats more paths to the majority”

Mitch McConnell and Co bet it all
On the Donald, but in the long haul,
Having pinned hopes and dreams
For their vile, evil schemes
On that crook, they are bound for a fall.

Thursday, October 29th, 2020

About maybe, conceivably losing.

For his future is fraught;
Relocation to prison is bruising.

Thursday, October 29th, 2020

Headline: “Hundreds stranded in the cold waiting for buses in chaotic post-Trump rally scene”

At an Omaha rally, we’re told.
Freezing temps — people stranded,
Their treatment offhanded;
Cast aside like they’re garbage or mold.

Election Angst (Limerick)

Thursday, October 29th, 2020

Election Day’s coming up soon.
I’m so anxious, I’m likely to swoon.

If he doesn’t, I’ll wail;
Can’t survive four more years of that loon!

Trump, An Insurgent??? (Limerick)

Wednesday, October 28th, 2020

Trump pretends that he’s still an insurgent.
His impulse to dupe us is urgent,
Cuz incumbents take blame;
Trump wants fault-free acclaim.
Here’s what I want: A White House Detergent.

The Whiner-in-Chief Bashes Fox (Limerick)

Tuesday, October 27th, 2020

Donald Trump loves to rant, rave, and whine,
Like when two-timing Fox crossed the line:
Air a speech by Obama?
How dare they! What trauma!
Donald’s view: “They should only air mine!”

“Rounding The Turn?” Or Chasing Our Tails? (Limerick)

Monday, October 26th, 2020

“We’re rounding the turn,” Trump proclaims;
Deception’s but one of his games.
His rallies are reckless,
His mask-mocking, feckless.
Is disease-spreading one of his aims?

Yet Another “If Trump Could Write Limericks”

Friday, October 23rd, 2020

It’s clear I’m the best and the brightest,
The most fair (and when need be) most rightest.
I’m the strongest, the toughest
Yes, even the buffest
I’m a genius … and also the Whitest.

Wishful Thinking (Limerick)

Thursday, October 22nd, 2020

As the Joe/Donald battle is fought,
Muting Trump is an excellent thought.
I just wish it could last
Past debate night; Trump’s blast
Gently dulled, if not dampened to naught.

Trump’s GOP Enemies List (Limerick)

Sunday, October 18th, 2020

Headline: “Trump Is Taking Down Names as Republicans Begin Jumping Ship on His ‘Totally Off the Rails’ Campaign”

Donald Trump has been taking down names
Of Republican pols whom he blames
For their last minute swipes
And anti-Trump gripes:
No more favors from Trump, he proclaims.

Tardy Trump Critiques (Limerick)

Saturday, October 17th, 2020

Headline: “GOP senator unloads on Trump in constituent call, saying ‘he mocks evangelicals’ and has ‘flirted with White supremacists'”

Some Republican pols like Ben Sasse,
Have just noticed that Donald’s an ass.
Their belated critiques
(Pre-election — 3 weeks)
Bear the stench of intestinal gas.

Retweet Madness (Limerick)

Saturday, October 17th, 2020

Headline: “The Babylon Bee Tricks Trump, But He Isn’t First Politician to Believe Satire Sites”

Thinking satire’s news, most agree,
Isn’t smart. But the Babylon Bee
Hoodwinked Trump who, defeated
By humor, retweeted
The “news.” Donald, next time tweet ME.

Limerick Ode To A Donald Defeat

Friday, October 16th, 2020

A Donald defeat would be sweet;
A fine end to the crim’nal deceit
That’s invaded the White House —
A much sullied Blight House.
Vote Biden, cuz Trump must be beat.

Political News Madness (Limerick)

Wednesday, October 14th, 2020

Political news drives me mad,
And it makes me both angry and sad.
Yet its pull is so brutal,
Resistance is futile.
Addicted to Twitter? A tad.

Trump’s Back To Abnormal (Limerick)

Monday, October 12th, 2020

The Donald is back to addressin’
His base in big rallies, expressin’
All his pre-illness views,
But with grandiose hues.
Glad to see Covid taught him a lesson.

Limerick Ode to the Loon-In-Chief

Monday, October 12th, 2020

Headline: “Twitter Flags Trump’s Tweet About Being ‘Immune’ to Virus”

The Donald proclaims “I’m immune,”
A rather implausible tune.
Sounding mad as a hatter,
His asinine chatter
Makes it clear that the man is a loon.

“Superspreader” Trump Returns To The Trail (Limerick)

Monday, October 12th, 2020

Headline: “Trump returns to trail amid concerns over COVID-19 diagnosis”

All we hear from the White House is lies
And evasions that nobody buys.
What’s the risk of exposure
To Trump? Non-disclosure!
I surmise that all contact’s unwise.

Covid’s A “Blessing From God?” (Limerick)

Thursday, October 8th, 2020

Headline: “Trump Calls His Illness ‘a Blessing From God’”

Getting Covid’s a “Blessing From God?”
Methinks that Trump’s reasoning’s flawed.
Donald’s just-pretend piety
Merits dubiety.
As with most things, re God Trump’s a fraud.

Pence’s Flying Friend (Limerick)

Thursday, October 8th, 2020

Headline: “A fly sat atop Mike Pence’s head for two minutes during the V.P. debate.”

A fly’s lengthy stay on Mike’s head
(Two minutes, until the fly fled)
Went unnoticed by Pence,
Or ignored. Makes no sense,
Unless Pence is a robot … or dead.

Manic Donald (Limerick)

Wednesday, October 7th, 2020

Headline: “Trump’s Tweeting Even More Erratic Than Usual”

Donald Trump sits atop of the Feds
And behaves like a madman on meds.
His tweets appear manic,
Galvanic, Satanic.
Can I panic at “Off with their heads!”?
