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.

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.

“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.

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!”?

Trump’s Real Mission? (Limerick)

Wednesday, October 7th, 2020

I’ve tried, but can’t shake my suspicion
That Trump and Mike Pence have this mission:
To infect Biden’s team —
That’s the Donald’s wet dream,
Which he thinks cancels out his condition.

Trump Unmasked (Limerick)

Tuesday, October 6th, 2020

Headline: “Trump removes mask upon arrival at White House”

There are health codes that most of us follow.
But not Donald, for HIS soul is hollow.
Though he’s ill, he unmasks;
In a bare face, he basks.
Trump’s actions and words — hard to swallow!

Yet Another “If Trump Could Write Limericks”

Tuesday, October 6th, 2020

Headline: “Trump Halts Pandemic Relief Negotiations”

No relief bill this month, on reflection,
Cuz the Senate’s sole job’s my selection
For our land’s highest bench.
Judge Amy’s a wench
Who has earned my support and affection.

Trump’s Fake Machismo Strikes Again (Limerick)

Tuesday, October 6th, 2020

The Donald says, “Don’t be afraid
Of Covid.” We’re all being played!
To imply “No Big Deal”
Hurts our land’s common weal.
Once again, we’re by Donald betrayed.

Recovery Hopes (Limerick)

Sunday, October 4th, 2020

Here’s hoping that Donald’s health slump
Quickly ends — sends him back on the stump.
And I also am hoping
We stop merely coping…
And recover from Donald J. Trump.

Trump Won The 1st Debate Bigly! Who Knew?

Thursday, October 1st, 2020

Trump Tweet: “I won the debate big, based on compilation of polls etc. Thank you!”

Trump Tweet: “Why would I allow the Debate Commission to change the rules for the second and third Debates when I easily won last time?”

Donald claims that he won the debate.
Seems he thinks his performance first-rate.
All the polls (so Trump says)
Prove Joe lost to the Prez.
But as always, for proof we await.

Apologize? Hell No! (Limerick)

Thursday, October 1st, 2020

Headline: “Biden Says He’s Not Sorry for Calling Trump Racist, Clown, Liar, ‘Putin’s Puppy’ During Debate: ‘Everything I Said Was True’”

Joe called Trump “liar,” “racist,” “fool,” “clown.”
“Are you sorry?” he’s asked with a frown.
Why should Biden regret
Any apt epithet?
There’s no reason for Joe to back down!

If Trump Could Write Limericks

Thursday, October 1st, 2020

Via ABC News: “President Donald Trump will hold more large-scale campaign rallies in Wisconsin this weekend as coronavirus cases and hospitalization rage across the battleground state, making the clear decision to prioritize campaigning rather than worry about more people getting sick.”

Since it’s vital to cover all bases,
I am holding big rallies in places
Where the China Plague’s strong.
I don’t care if it’s wrong
Cuz I’m shielded from all virus traces.
