Arise (Limerick)

Friday, December 30th, 2016

There’s a U.S. reality gap,
Where actual facts are deemed pap
And derided as lies.
It’s time to get wise
And arise from our nightmarish nap.

In the meantime we’re haplessly trapped;
Our nation’s been kidnapped and zapped
By a fellow whose con
Has allowed him to don
The cloak of great power, untapped.

Laugh-Free Limerick

Tuesday, December 20th, 2016

A man whose behavior’s bizarre
Has been mocked from both near and afar.
But no matter his gaffes,
Frauds, and falsehoods, the laugh’s
On his foes, as Trump HAS the last HAR.

Open Limerick To Donald Trump (2-Verse)

Saturday, December 17th, 2016

Dear Donald: Stop bragging and gloating
And mischaracterizing the voting.
Show some dignity. Preening
And boasting’s demeaning.
And so is your crude self-promoting.

You have pulled off remarkable feats,
So enough with the paranoid bleats.
Think twice before speaking
And enemy-tweaking.
And try NOT to launch wars with your tweets!

Trump’s Secret Limerick To Putin

Friday, December 16th, 2016

Dear Vlad, I can’t publicly say
How grateful I am. Your display
Of email artillery
Helped me to pillory
Hill’ry. Your bribe’s on the way.

Limerick Ode To Trump’s Cabinet

Thursday, December 15th, 2016

A Cab’net of wealthy white men;
The richest, white male group, since when?
Since Bush Senior presided.
A wee bit lopsided?
For balance — Ivanka — rich hen.

Trump’s Ongoing Con Job (Limerick)

Thursday, December 15th, 2016

Donald’s populist ploy goes beyond
Any con job I’ve ever seen spawned.
Yet his fans (who should keen
From the rich, elite sheen
Of Trump’s Cab’net) don’t know they’ve been conned.

How’s the “Swamp Draining” Going? (Limerick)

Monday, November 28th, 2016

Donald’s conflicts of int’rest abound,
And his acts of self-dealing confound.
The “swamp” is Trump’s playground;
Get richer, crush prey-ground.
In Trump-sewage, democracy’s drowned.

Trump Tries To Have It Both Ways (Limerick)

Monday, November 28th, 2016

Trump asserts that he really did win
The popular vote. That’s his spin.
It would seem Trump has blundered:
His claim ‘votes were plundered’
Makes recount objections sound thin.

In Trump, No Trust! (Limerick)

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2016

We mustn’t succumb and adjust
To democracy’s turning to dust,
Or a prez we can’t trust
Known for greed, lies, and lust.
Demand justice with gusto, or bust!

Limerick Ode To Sniveling Donald

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2016

Pre-election, The Donald went wild
With tweets that were petty and riled.
Since he won, there’s no sign
Of a whine-rate decline.
Face the facts: We’ve elected a child.

Giving Trump His Due (Limerick)

Saturday, November 19th, 2016

Trump supporters have made this demand:
“Respect Trump as the prez of our land.”
Yes give Donald his due:
That same “honor” he threw
At Barack — just deserts for Trump’s brand.

Can Humor Survive President Trump? (Limerick)

Saturday, November 12th, 2016

Can humor survive Trump’s election?
Wit doesn’t mix well with dejection.
But it weathered the pain
Of the Bush/Cheney reign,
So let’s hope for a short-lived defection.
