The Donald’s a real estate grifter
And a policy viewpoint shape shifter.
If you fall for his spiel
And think HE’s the real deal,
You’ve been guzzling from beer stein or snifter.

Limerick Ode For Donald “The Grifter” Trump
Wednesday, June 1st, 2016Donald Trump Boosts Pet Wallaby Sales? (Limerick)
Monday, May 30th, 2016According to this strange interview, Republican Kelly Maher, a political analyst, is so depressed by Donald Trump that she bought a pet wallaby for emotional support.
About Trump, Kelly’s very upset.
She’s so jumpy, she got a new pet
To help with her sadness
And wall off the madness.
Will a Wallaby help her not fret?
Donald “4 Pinocchio” Trump Strikes Again (Limerick)
Wednesday, May 25th, 2016Trump’s “Four Pinocchios” keep mounting up, as The Donald amplifies his conspiracy-theory-fed attacks on Hillary Clinton.
The latest is for suggesting foul play in the (to quote Trump) “fishy” 1993 suicide of Vince Foster.
The Donald will use any source
(Even chain mail from fringe groups, of course)
In attacking a rival.
His key to survival?
Coarse indiff’rence to truth, sans remorse.
Open Limerick To Trump Supporters
Monday, May 23rd, 2016The very least one can expect from presidential candidates, is that they NOT root against our nation’s economy. Yet Trump apparently did exactly that:
Two years before the housing market collapsed in 2008 and millions of Americans lost their homes, Donald Trump said he was hoping for a crash.
“I sort of hope that happens because then people like me would go in and buy,” Trump said in a 2006 audiobook from Trump University, answering a question about “gloomy predictions that the real estate market is heading for a spectacular crash.”
Dear supporters of Trump, don’t be rash
And back someone who hoped for a crash
In the house market so
He could make lots of dough,
Brashly rooting against us for cash.
Open Double Quatrain To Bernie Sanders
Sunday, May 22nd, 2016Dear Bernie: Only a candidate who cares more about himself than about our nation, could refer to choosing between Clinton and Trump as “the lesser of two evils.”
“The lesser of two evils” —
That’s the phrasing Bernie used
To describe the coming battle,
Hill v Trump. I’m NOT amused.
Revealing his true colors
In that line for all to hear,
He let bitterness at losing
Spur a reckless, noxious smear.
Yet Another Anti-Trump Limerick
Thursday, May 19th, 2016I’ve attempted but failed to account
For the YUUUGELY surprising amount
Of folks who applaud
Donald Trump and who laud
That deranged instability fount.
Open Limerick To Bernie Sanders
Tuesday, May 17th, 2016I was really hoping that Bernie Sanders would behave like a statesman in the wake of the horrific behavior of Sanders’ supporters in Nevada.
Instead, he released this press release, with only the most mealy-mouthed general criticism of violence — a press release dominated by his own recitation of campaign grievances.
When supporters of yours misbehave
Please don’t act like a put-upon knave.
You should strongly indict
Pro-Bern violence with bite,
And not feed them the pep talk they crave.
Yet Another Open Limerick To Hillary-Haters
Tuesday, May 17th, 2016You’re a Bernie supporter? That’s fine.
You’re a “Bernie or Buster?” Go whine
And spread lies on some page
That’s more friendly. Vent rage
Against Hill somewhere else. Not on mine!
Trump Headline Game

Donald “Really Rich!” Trump Wants “Corrupting” Cash
Wednesday, May 11th, 2016“I self-fund cuz I’m rich. Really rich!
I’m too rich to be bought!” was Trump’s pitch.
“Keep your money,” he said.
But that policy’s dead
In a typical Trump bait and switch.
Open Limerick To Ted Cruz On Suspending His Campaign
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016Dear Ted, you’re a wack and a hack,
And I’m tempted to make a snide crack,
But I almost feel pity;
It sure won’t be pretty
When Senators “welcome” you back.
Open Limerick To Donald Trump From Most Leading Republicans
Sunday, May 1st, 2016As a running mate, I’d be ideal.
But I’ll never be yours, so get real!
Be advised, I insist:
Keep me off of your list.
Even Hillary has more appeal.
Open Limerick To “Bernie Or Busters”
Friday, April 29th, 2016I can’t help wondering whether Bernie’s bound to lose his halo:
There are Dems who think Hill fans are dumb.
Seems she’s “evil” and “venal,” to some.
Here’s my question: When Bern
Does back Hill, will they spurn
“Sainted Bern” and demote him to scum?
Open Limerick To Ted Cruz
Thursday, April 28th, 2016Dear Ted, if you’re trying to woo
Hoosiers’ fans, here is what NOT to do:
Call that “hoop” thing a “ring.”
(Also Carly can’t sing.)
Lots of luck with your GOP coup.
Cruz & Carly — A Match Made In Political Hell (Limerick)
Thursday, April 28th, 2016Can Carly help Teddy prevail?
His desp’rate Hail Mary will fail.
Though she’s brighter than Palin,
Ted’s ‘woman card’s’ ailin’.
(Are we SURE Carly isn’t a male?)
Perhaps Trump Should Re-Take The Name “Drumpf” (Limerick)
Wednesday, April 27th, 2016The Donald’s next goal on the stump:
Overcome the “no gravitas” hump
And appear presidential,
Which means it’s essential
To prove that The Donald ain’t Trump.
Open Limerick To Hillary-Haters
Tuesday, April 26th, 2016The Bernie or Bust meme’s akin
To ensuring a GOP win.
So who is the shill
For vows to spurn Hill?
Karl Rove… or duped Dems drunk on spin?
*****
I’m for Hill, you’ve sussed.
Vote for Bernie, if you must.
Nix “Bernie or Bust.”
Cruz Vetting Fiorina as Possible Running Mate (A Limerick Response)
Monday, April 25th, 2016Just imagine the horror if Cruz
Names Carly for VEEP. Pour the booze!
To see ’em’s to hate ’em
And long to berate ’em.
Even worse, each espouses foul views.
Trump Spells Out His Problem With Kasich (Limerick)
Sunday, April 24th, 2016A headline like this pretty much demands a limerick:
“Trump asks Kasich to change spelling of his name.”
Here’s The Donald’s big grievance today:
To Kasich’s last name, he says, “Nay!”
It’s spelled wrong, goes his schtick —
Looks like “itch,” and not “ick,”
Which means Kasich should change it, okay?
Trump’s Team: “Plane” Incompetent (Limerick)
Tuesday, April 19th, 2016Prez Trump will be great! You know why?
His reason’s a bit hard to buy:
He will bring a “great team!”
Yet his team it would seem
Can not keep his plane reg’stered to fly.
