Headline: “GOP blocks Senate rebuke of Trump on Russia sanctions”
Undoubtedly Putin is thrilled
By the mayhem he’s wrought; he’s fulfilled
His dream to install
Trump the Puppet, who’ll brawl
And defile, as democracy’s chilled.

Putin’s Puppet (Limerick)
Wednesday, January 16th, 2019If Nancy Pelosi Could Write Limericks
Wednesday, January 16th, 2019Dear Donald, I see that the state
Of our Union is closed, so the date
That you’re set to appear
In my House (nearly here)
Isn’t great. “Speak” in writing … or wait.
Here’s Nancy’s real letter to Trump.
Trump’s Fake Crisis Diversion (Limerick)
Saturday, January 12th, 2019Trump keeps tying our nation in knots,
And it’s time to connect all the dots:
He inflicts all this hurt
To distract and divert
Because Putin is calling the shots.
No Means No! (Limerick)
Saturday, January 12th, 2019Headline: “When Nancy Pelosi Says ‘No’”
When Pelosi says “no,” she means “NO!”
Trump will NOT get his wall-building dough.
Unlike Donald, she’ll walk
The walk and won’t balk.
Nancy’s toughness is true. Trump’s? Just SHOW!
Donald’s Just-Pretend Emergency (Limerick)
Friday, January 11th, 2019Trump’s attempting a blackmail-insurgency:
“I’ve the right to declare an emergency.
But I WON’T do it yet.
Right now it’s a threat!” …
Which proves that there’s really no urgency.
Limerick Ode To Our So-Called Deal-Maker
Friday, January 11th, 2019The self-described deal-maker fails
To close deals. Donald’s thwarted? He bails.
Nancy ties him in knots,
And whenever he spots
Her he’ll plotz, as his orange skin pales.
Trump Walled In By Wall Quote (Limerick)
Thursday, January 10th, 2019It’s hard not to laugh at this quote from Trump’s 2004 Wagner College commencement address, which inspired my limerick:
I’ll tell you, to me, the second-most important thing after love what you do is never, ever give up. Don’t give up. Don’t allow it to happen. If there’s a concrete wall in front of you, go through it. Go over it. Go around it. But get to the other side of that wall.
There’s a wall of concrete? Then go through it;
That’s the way that the Donald once drew it.
Are walls MEANT to be crossed?
Or built at great cost:
My conclusion is Donald Trump blew it.
Trump Storms Out Of His Own Meeting (Limerick)
Wednesday, January 9th, 2019Headline: “Trump storms out of meeting as shutdown careens toward fourth week”
The Donald stormed out of the meeting
Cuz his wall scheme was taking a beating.
The Speaker was “mean,”
So he vented his spleen
In a petulant act of retreating.
Border Wall Lies
Tuesday, January 8th, 2019The Donald is planning to go
On the air Tuesday night with a show
Of border wall lies
And emergency cries.
To the networks I plead: “Just Say No!”
Open 3-Verse Limerick To Donald Trump
Sunday, January 6th, 2019I won’t ask you, dear Trump, not to lie.
You can’t stop, so don’t bother to try.
And nor will I ask
You to do any task
That requires a warm-hearted guy.
And there’s really no need to pretend
That the law isn’t something you bend
To benefit you
And a very small few:
Your children … and maybe a friend.
I won’t EVEN say, Donald don’t whine.
You can’t help it, I know, so that’s fine.
I’ve a single request,
And it isn’t “Be Best.”
I am begging you: Kindly Resign!
Donald’s Shutdown (Limerick)
Saturday, January 5th, 2019Headline: “White House Did Not Understand Shutdown Implications”
The Donald did not comprehend
The great damage a shutdown could send.
This is not a surprise;
Trump’s the inverse of wise,
And his couns’lors kiss Donald’s butt end.
Donald Begs For A Deal (Limerick)
Tuesday, January 1st, 2019The Donald begs, “Let’s make a deal?”
Via Twitter, he makes that appeal.
You should steel yourself, bro,
Cuz you’re getting no dough
For cement or your slat walls of steel.
Trump Derangement (Limerick)
Tuesday, January 1st, 2019“Trump Derangement’s” a syndrome some claim
Is a lefty disorder. How lame!
The afflicted are those
Who remain in the throes
Of Trump’s spell and still fall for his game.
Donald’s Blame Game (Limerick)
Sunday, December 30th, 2018Dear Donald, you’ll need more than luck
With your efforts at passing the buck;
You could crawl on all fours,
But the shutdown blame’s yours:
You’re the schmuck who’s inflicted this muck.
Trump’s Transparent Troop Lies (Limerick)
Friday, December 28th, 2018Headline: Trump Lies to Troops’ Faces About Pay Raise He Gave Them
Trump must think that our troops are all dumb.
What else could explain why that bum
Would visit their base
And lie to their face
Re their raises? The Donald is scum!
Trump Tries To “Rally” The Troops (Limerick)
Thursday, December 27th, 2018My dear Trump, were you raised in an alley?
Cuz a visit with troops ain’t a rally.
Your political speech
In that setting’s a breach…
And pally, we’re keeping a tally.
Our Oval Menace (Limerick)
Thursday, December 27th, 2018Headline: “Trump Brags To Troops About A Fictional Giant Pay Raise He Got Them”
Dear Donald, by lying to troops,
You dishonor and treat them like dupes.
Your “regime” is a mess,
And you menace the press…
Though you DO provide plenty of scoops.
*****
Covert deployment
has been revealed by Donald
who can’t be trusted.
No Kudos From Me (Limerick)
Wednesday, December 26th, 2018Don’t expect any praise or applause
For that trip to Iraq; Donald’s flaws
Shall always outweigh
One single good day
In a reign that flouts all of our laws.
Limerick Ode To The Scapegoater In Chief
Wednesday, December 26th, 2018The Donald loves passing the buck;
Blame is something he’ll constantly duck.
Unlike Truman, who said:
“Buck stops here,” Trump instead
Runs amok — finds a fall guy to fuck.
Donald’s Revenge List (Limerick)
Wednesday, December 26th, 2018Jane C. Timm: “The president is making a list, and checking it twice: Those who have wronged him.”
The Donald is making a list
Of people who’ve wronged him. He’s pissed!
Nearly ev’ryone’s mean,
So on vengeance Trump’s keen.
How he wishes they’d cease to exist!
