Bracing For The News (Limerick)

Saturday, December 13th, 2025

Ev’ry day I awaken and brace
For the latest Trump news. What a pace
One must keep, if you’re trying
To track Donald’s lying…
Any truth in TruthSocial? No trace!

Peace-Loving Trump (2-Verse Limerick and Haiku)

Friday, December 5th, 2025

It’s no secret: The Donald’s long yearned
For the Peace Prize, an honor unearned.
Seems Nobel’s prize committee
Agrees that Trump’s shitty.
So Donald was rightfully spurned.

But that ISN’T the end of the story,
For there’s NO quenching Trump’s thirst for glory.
That’s where FIFA comes in:
Hands a fake “peace prize” win
To a brute who loves waging outlawry.

*********************

Bigly Trump Honor:
FIFA invents a “peace prize”
for needy Donald.

Trump’s Tattletale Chatbot (2-Verse Limerick)

Monday, August 11th, 2025

Washington Post Headline: “New chatbot on Trump’s Truth Social platform keeps contradicting him
An ‘answer engine’ on Trump’s social media site says the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, tariffs aren’t boosting the stock market and Barack Obama is seen favorably.”

Truth Social’s confusing Trump’s base;
Valid facts somehow entered its space:
Seems its chatbot AI’s
Been replacing some lies
With the truths Trump would rather erase.

Election fraud, tariffs, and crime?
Ask the chatbot, and most of the time
It rebuts Donald’s view.
So will Donald Trump sue
His own site? Trump v. Bot! How sublime!

National Pride??? (Limerick)

Wednesday, April 9th, 2025

My great pride in our nation’s high station
Has sustained a substantial deflation
Caused by Trump and his cronies
Plus GOP phonies
Who’ve enabled Trump’s self-coronation.

Trump in a NUTshell (Limerick)

Monday, March 31st, 2025

Take a callous compulsion to bend
Pesky laws, plus a greed without end.
Add great ignorance, malice,
And lust for a palace.
Voilà! “The Rapacious Trump Blend!”

Non-Ode To “Truth Social” (Limerick)

Sunday, March 2nd, 2025

If you’re fond of political lies
And think Donald’s a “god,” oh so wise,
Then “Truth Social’s” your door
To Trump bullshit galore,
Filled with crap Donald’s moron base buys.

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!?!

A Tragic Truth (Limerick)

Wednesday, December 11th, 2024

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.

Trump’s Message (Limerick)

Tuesday, October 29th, 2024

“Stay on message,” Trump’s people advise.
But its essence is hatred and lies.
It’s divisive and crude,
Racist, fascist, and lewd–
A clear message sane folks should despise.

The Former Liar-In-Chief (Limerick)

Friday, September 15th, 2023

Though Donald, whose falsehoods are chronic,
May not think of his speech as ironic,
The irony’s clear
In a phrase he holds dear:
“To be honest.” (It’s also demonic.)

A Plea Deal For Donald? Don’t Even Think About It! (Limerick)

Friday, August 11th, 2023

Headlines like this drive me nuts: “Is It Possible Trump Will Strike a Plea Deal to Avoid Prison?”

A plea deal for Trump? That’s just mad!
Speculation like that’s simply sad.
Any pact he might make,
He would instantly break!
Trump’s a slippery snake of a cad.

Whining For Time (Limerick)

Monday, August 7th, 2023

“Trump’s defense needs more time!” That’s the plea
From John Lauro, last week in DC.
But the judge should be tough,
Cuz oddly enough
John had time for “full Ginsburg” TV.

Smith v. Trump (Limerick)

Friday, August 4th, 2023

Though Donald’s the lowest of low,
His infamy slide’s been too slow.
But the courts are all humming,
And justice is coming;
Trump’s finally battling a pro.

Donald Trump’s Finally Trumped (Limerick)

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2023

Another indictment’s been filed,
And Donald’s both anxious and riled
And undoubtedly frightened.
The vise has been tightened,
And law shall prevail! (“Will be wild!”)

Trump’s “Bravado” Defense

Wednesday, June 28th, 2023

Headline: “Trump says it was just ‘bravado’ when he claimed having Iran attack plan in caught-on-tape Bedminster meeting”

Caught on tape, Trump’s exposure is dire,
So he seems to have taken a flyer
On a novel defense
For admissions immense:
He just labels himself a big liar.

Hope, At Last? (2-Verse Limerick)

Thursday, June 15th, 2023

The Donald has many a flaw;
For instance, contempt for the law.
Then there’s meanness and greed
And his self-centered creed.
Plus he lies with each flap of his jaw.

So our household is filled with excitement
Over Donald Trump’s fed’ral indictment.
He at last just might pay
For his crimes. Till that day,
I shall savor my dream with delightment.

Pending Celebration (Limerick)

Tuesday, March 14th, 2023

I am planning a huge celebration,
Which will feature great food and libation.
The date’s still not set,
But I’m hosting my fête
On the day of Trump’s freedom cessation.

Trump Just Deserts? (Limerick)

Saturday, December 31st, 2022

My last Trump limerick of the year. (I hope it isn’t unduly optimistic.)

When Trump is at long last arrested,
Will he fin’ly acknowledge he’s bested
And surrender with grace
And a smile on his face?
Ha, he’ll protest with falsehoods time-tested.

Trump’s Hellacious Holiday Rant (Limerick)

Sunday, December 25th, 2022

While I try to avoid TruthSocial, I enjoyed this article in, of all places, the NYPost, mocking Trump’s Christmas message. Reading it even inspired me to write this limerick:

Having failed in his goal to destroy us,
Trump’s reduced to a pest who’d annoy us.
Flinging insults galore
In each TruthSocial snore,
That poor slob doesn’t sound all that joyous!

What Will It Take For Pence To Stop Repeating Trump’s Lies? (Limerick)

Thursday, March 4th, 2021

My latest limerick was inspired by a recent Mike Pence op-ed in The Daily Signal. Here’s how he begins: “After an election marked by significant voting irregularities and numerous instances of officials setting aside state election law, I share the concerns of millions of Americans about the integrity of the 2020 election.”

Dear Mike Pence, I am forced to surmise
That you haven’t stopped backing Trump’s lies.
He endangered your life!
Yet your statements are rife
With Trump myths. That’s bizarre and unwise.
