Limerick Ode To Presidents’ Day

Monday, February 16th, 2026

It’s “Presidents’ Day?” I’m surprised
That its name hasn’t yet been revised.
Surely “Trump Day’d” befit
Donald’s “greatness” and “grit”
And comport with an ego king-sized!

Just In Time For Presidents Day — Would-Be Presidential Clerihews

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

In case all those ads haven’t clued you in, Presidents Day is nearly here. To celebrate, I’ve written a pair of clerihews for would-be presidents Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. What’s a clerihew? A whimsically biographical four-line poem, more fully described here.

Willard Mitt Romney
Has wealth that’s omni.
But he’s stiff as a yoke.
Kindly give that man a toke.

*****

Ricky Santorum
Loves his forum.
Being prez is his quest
In a knit sweater vest.
