Why Republicans Embolden Our Enemies (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A government shutdown sounds sordid,
And I’m hoping it’s somehow aborted.
But the House GOP
Views the dangers with glee;
They assume they’ll again be rewarded.

Simply playing the passive voice game
Is a popular way to dodge blame.
The “mistakes were made” line
Is the best tell-tale sign
That slipp’ry evasion’s your aim.

The words of most pols seem so hollow.
They say little I’m able to swallow.
All those lines that they feed us
While trying to lead us
Persuade me it’s best not to follow.

By Madeleine Begun Kane
The Republican problem with science
Is their members respond with defiance
To facts that are proved.
(Have their brains been removed?)
They spread lies to excuse non-compliance.
*****
Refusing vaccines,
Don’t-Tell-Me-What-To-Doers
now infect us all.
*****
Exodus of thought–
an exodus of science–
the GOP way.
*****
Misinformation
delib’rately spread by Fox–
blindly accepted.
*****
Republican pols–
implacable enemy
of fairness and facts.
******
The truth-challenged pols
have taken over Congress–
therein LIES the rub.
