My war in Iran’s going great!
Ev’ry option I’ve chosen’s first rate.
But the “fake news” is claiming
The opposite, blaming
My acts for the glitch with the Strait.
They are trying to make me lose face,
And it’s THEIR fault I’m losing my base.
But I’ll get them back soon,
And they’ll sing a new tune…
Cuz my pal Brendan Carr’s on the case.

Our nation, alas, is now hated
By old allies, their rage unabated.
Trump of course is the cause;
He spews bile without pause.
Xi and Putin, no doubt, are elated.

Romney Unleashed (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Mitt the “robot” is suddenly hot,
Unpredictably stirring the pot.
Once disturbingly guarded,
Now caution’s discarded.
I’m starting to miss the old “bot.”

Mitt Romney’s weird facial expressions during yesterday’s press conference about the killings at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, inspired me to write this limerick:
Limerick Ode To Smirking Romney
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Can a person be judged by his smile?
I’d say yes, when it hints at his bile.
If like Mitt’s, it’s a smirk,
Then a creep may well lurk
Underneath, one whose essence is vile.

Mitt Romney really stepped in it this time:
Mitt Romney’s sharply-worded attack on President Obama over a pair of deadly riots in Muslim countries last night has backfired badly among foreign policy hands of both parties, who cast it as hasty and off-key, released before the facts were clear at what has become a moment of tragedy.
Foolhardy Romney Strikes Again (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
In his quest for political gain,
Romney rushes to judgment, it’s plain:
Lashing out before learning
The facts, he risks burning
Our nation with statements insane.

Dear Mitt Romney: How on earth did you manage to cause a diplomatic incident in Great Britain?
Just what we want in a president — someone so desperate to show off his knowledge about the Olympics, that he insults our best friends, the Brits, while a guest in their country.
LONDON — Mitt Romney’s carefully choreographed trip to London caused a diplomatic stir when he called the British Olympic preparations “disconcerting” and questioned whether Londoners would turn out to support the Games.
“The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, the supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials, that obviously is not something which is encouraging,” Mr. Romney said in an interview with NBC on Wednesday.
That prompted a tart rejoinder from the British prime minister, David Cameron. “We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world. Of course it’s easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere,” an allusion to Salt Lake City, which hosted Games that Mr. Romney oversaw.
Limerick Ode To Mitt (The Diplomat) Romney
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Mitt’s Olympian need to convey
Expertise nearly caused a huge fray.
A prez needs the skill
Of diplomacy: Shrill,
Blow by blow game-host insults? Bad play!
