Musk v. Trump (Limerick)

Thursday, June 5th, 2025

Musk and Trump have transitioned to feuding,
After months (if not years) of colluding.
I’ll admit (truth be told)
That it’s fun to behold
That vile duo’s joint shitshow concluding.

Trump’s Meaningless Threats To Putin (Limerick)

Sunday, June 1st, 2025

It’s past time. You must end your brutality!
I’m not kidding! (Trump’s TACO finality.)
Don’t forget: I’m not joshing.
So stop, or I’m washing
My hands of your stubborn rascality.

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!

TACO TRUMP’S REIGN (Limerick)

Thursday, May 29th, 2025

Donald’s reign is far worse than a glitch!
We must NOT just complain, “Life’s a bitch!”
He’s not stopped? Then we lose
All we’ve stood for. Don’t snooze
While Trump wrecks all he’s trying to ditch!

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!

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!”

Woke Quatrain

Monday, March 31st, 2025

To the Trump-loving creep:
“Call me woke. I won’t weep.
You ain’t clever or deep.
Now just go back to sleep!”

Car-Buying Blues (Limerick)

Thursday, March 27th, 2025

Headline: “Trump Announces 25% Tariffs on Imported Cars Effective April 2” (NOTE: This includes American brands assembled abroad.)

Do you need a new car? Then don’t wait!
Buy it now! Beat that Trump-tariff date.
For despite Donald’s scorn,
Fine economists warn:
Car-price surges will soon be our fate.

The Mad Tariffer (Limerick)

Friday, March 14th, 2025

My latest political limerick was largely inspired by this CNBC headline: “‘I’m not going to bend at all’: Trump doubles down on tariff plans as stocks sink”

(Not surprisingly, “Trump doubles down on…” is becoming an over-used, albeit exceedingly appropriate, headline phrase.)

Trump is doubling down on his madness,
Which increases my anger and sadness.
He’s insane and perverse
And keeps making things worse.
There’s no limit, alas, to his badness.

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!

Coping With The Oval Madman (Limerick)

Thursday, March 6th, 2025

Though I try not to whine, moan, or mope,
I am finding it taxing to cope
With our nation’s ruination
And Donald’s castration
Of all who might lend us some hope.

An Open Limerick To Donald Trump

Wednesday, March 5th, 2025

My dear Trump, it’s a shame you’re so boring;
Last night’s speech was the inverse of soaring!
Though your acts are unbound,
That dull, monotone sound
Sent a shit-load of viewers a-snoring.

Dearest Dems (Limerick)

Tuesday, March 4th, 2025

Dearest Dems who attend Donald’s speech,
I had better not see your arms reach
Out to shake that man’s hand.
Such an act should be banned…
And don’t clap for that lawbreaking leech!

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.

Four-Verse Trump Haiku

Wednesday, February 19th, 2025

A fractured nation
controlled by foul maniac;
Trump’s evil, unchecked.

A fractured nation
overtaken by evil,
as Putin’s Trump reigns.

A fractured nation
victimized by Trumpy myths
and cowardly pols.

A fractured nation–
Endangered Constitution–
The courts our last hope.

A Third Term For The Turd? (Limerick)

Monday, February 10th, 2025

Headline: “Trump Keeps Floating A Possible Third Term”

Trump is eyeing a THIRD term. (Big Sigh!)
Is it likely that Donald will try?
Experts deem it illegal,
But Trump thinks he’s regal–
That there’s nothing his power can’t buy.

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!?!

GOP Cowards (Limerick)

Wednesday, February 5th, 2025

Washington Post Headline: “Republican skeptics cave on Trump’s most controversial Cabinet picks”

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.

Trump Floods The Zone (Limerick)

Thursday, January 30th, 2025

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!
