Sanguinity Challenges (Limerick)

Sunday, November 30th, 2025

I hear tell that it’s healthy and sage
To be sanguine, no matter your age.
But sanguineous Trump
Turned me into a grump,
So I often turn reddish with rage.

The Enablers (Limerick)

Friday, October 31st, 2025

Is there anything Donald can’t do?
Seems the Senate and House won’t say “Boo.”
And permissive Supremes
Keep fulfilling his dreams;
Willing allies in Donald Trump’s coup.

If Only… (Limerick)

Sunday, October 26th, 2025

How I wish we had some way to halt
Donald’s evil, persistent assault
On our land. But alas,
No one reins in that ass:
Ev’ry day spawns a new “Oy, Gevalt!”

Limerick Ode To Kimmel, Colbert, Seth, Jon, and John

Tuesday, September 30th, 2025

Stress is triggered by reading the news.
So the show hosts who somehow amuse
Freaked-out viewers, deserve
Lots of love served with verve:
Let us toast them! (We STILL need that BOOZE!)

A Chicken Little Limerick

Thursday, September 25th, 2025

Chicken Little spread fear day and night
With her tales of a sky-falling blight.
Her “catastrophe” spew
Caused a panic, undue.
(Chicken Little, these days, would be right.)

One Reason I Write (Limerick)

Monday, September 22nd, 2025

My political views are quite strong.
Many share them. (Some rant that I’m wrong.)
I use verse (mostly light)
To express them. Our plight
Is so grim, we need grins (or a bong.)

A “Potential” Limerick

Saturday, September 13th, 2025

Is “potential” a positive word?
I once thought so, but now I feel spurred
To consider the fact,
That with each evil act
Trump’s destructive potential’s bestirred.

Limerick Pep Talk

Thursday, May 29th, 2025

Though it feels like our nation’s degraded,
Don’t give up! Please try NOT to be jaded.
Our great battle’s not lost!
We must fight at all cost!
TACO Trump should in hell be paraded!

King Con’s “Trump 2028” Merch (Limerick)

Monday, May 5th, 2025

“Trump 2028″ apparel is now on sale at the Trump Organization’s online store. Is he really planning an unconstitutional run for a third term? Or is this just another of Trump’s money-making cons?

Will the Donald attempt a third term?
It’s illegal, most experts confirm.
But a mere thing like laws
Rarely gives Donald pause.
So expect a 4th run from that worm!

Freedom Under Siege (Limerick)

Sunday, April 27th, 2025

Precious freedom, alas, is at stake!
Dire jeopardy! Each day we wake
To more headlines that scare us,
As Trump seems to dare us
To dodge each malevolent quake.

AWOL Wit? (Limerick)

Wednesday, March 12th, 2025

When I’m writing, I struggle to squeeze in
Lots of humor and wit and to season
All my poems with wordplay;
Perhaps absurd nerd-play.
I’ve failed? Donald’s treason’s the reason!

Our Constitutional Collapse (Limerick)

Thursday, February 6th, 2025

I used to be able to write funny limericks. But these days, most of them are serious and depressing. This excellent Karen Tumulty column largely inspired this one:

An Executive Branch run amok!
Sen. “Advice and Consent?” No such luck!
Our Democracy’s hacked
And our nation’s soul’s cracked.
So what else can one say except FUCK!?!

Peril (Limerick)

Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024

Donald’s win in November is galling,
And his Cabinet picks are appalling.
The one qualification
To garner such station?
Trump allegiance. Democracy’s bawling!

Our Supreme Problem (3-Verse Limerick)

Tuesday, October 8th, 2024

My latest 3-verse limerick was inspired by a CNN article that included this paragraph: “Roberts was shaken by the adverse public reaction to his decision affording Trump substantial immunity from criminal prosecution. His protestations that the case concerned the presidency, not Trump, held little currency.”

Poor John Roberts is in a deep funk;
His beloved court’s stature has shrunk.
And it’s largely his fault
For harsh rulings that halt
Basic rights. He’s a punk and a skunk.
About justice his court doesn’t care.
There’s no effort to ever be fair.
It treats stare decisis
Like trash. We’ve a crisis;
Sound rulings are brutally rare!
So if Roberts is sad, fine by me!
For the court must be changed. You agree?
Then be sure to vote Dem.
No more hawing. Don’t hem!
It’s the one way to stem the debris.
