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!?!
The Republican Sens. are compliant; Against Donald they’re rarely defiant, Which means bad nominees Are approved with great ease… Although each one’s the inverse of giant.
The Donald is flooding the zone With horrors that none should condone. But his party just cowers, Supporting “Trump’s powers.” No objections or gripes — not a groan!
Pushing buttons is Donald’s great gift. (That along with his talent for grift.) The man glories in setting Folks off who (while fretting) Forget they must act when they’re miffed.
I refuse to watch Donald sworn in. It’s a sin such a demon could win. That malicious deceiver (Were I a believer) Just might make me kick “God” in the shin.
Axios Headline: “Trump launches meme coin, apparently makes more than $25 billion overnight”
Trump made $25 “yards” overnight With the $TRUMP coin — his new grifting blight. By the way, “yard’s” a billion; No NOT a mere million– Bigly duping the not-very-bright.
“Tell me Sir, what’s your best resolution?” Getting vengeance with each prosecution! Also closing the borders, Undoing Joe’s orders, And trashing the damn Constitution!
Then there’s placing high tariffs galore To give nations a giant what-for, Getting rid of non-whites And that dumb Bill of Rights, Plus I’ll dump X-man Musk. What a bore!
The Republicans’ game is a mess. Think they know what they’re doing? (God bless!) At best, they are wreckers. They’re NOT playing checkers. And they’re certainly NOT playing chess!
Upon Elon’s command, Johnson’s bill Was withdrawn. Seems it gives Musk a thrill To rob Trump of his job. And so (yessiree Bob!) Trump and Johnson must swallow this pill.
I was about to say that the Disney/ABC $15 million cave to Trump was the final straw. But alas, I fear there will be many more straws:
Dear Press: Don’t obey in advance. Don’t succumb to Trump’s arrogant dance. If you do, you’ll be under His thumb — torn asunder; Vanquished victims of Trump’s rancid rants.
After learning that “enshittification” is a real word, I couldn’t resist using it in a limerick. (Yes, it means precisely what it sounds like.)
Trump is back, so truth’s value has dived, And enshittification’s arrived! Fabrications reap wins; Seems no matter the sins, Some can flourish (all grins) rank revived.
I just read that Trump’s selling cologne! Brand new grifting from Trump? Hold the phone! I am stunned, simply shocked And amazed, startled, rocked That the thief’s stock of rip-offs has grown!
Donald’s picks, on the whole, are all feckless. There’s no vetting, alas. They are checkless. Trump gives standards short shrift, But his process is swift. It’s a cinch being quick when you’re reckless!
The old “Gray Lady’s” falling in line, Cov’ring Trump with no hint of a spine. I’m so sick of its false Equiv’lency waltz! Is it fair to the Dems? I say Nein!
I would stop our subscription today. But, alas, my dear spouse says, “No! Nay!” He has wearied of hearing My New York Times jeering. So it’s here, where I must have my say.
When a Trump pick is forced to withdraw Over sex-crimes, or some other flaw, It seems likely, alas, That an even worse ass Will be named to help Trump flout the law.
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!
Biden’s pardoning Hunter, I’ve read. I hope Dems put their bitching to bed. Please don’t huff and/or puff. Hunter’s suffered enough! Think how pissed Trump will be! Enough said!
Four more years of a man who’s our bane? A vile pol with a venomous brain? What’s the crux of the matter? Trump’s foul — a Mad Hatter, Whose win on the 5th is insane!
Hey guitarists, you need a new axe? You like Trump? You’ll be thrilled to the max, Cuz the grifter’s now selling Guitars. There’s no telling What’s next … though my bet’s on the sax.
