It’s hot as I walk down the street,
And I really can’t take all this heat.
But reciting this phrase
Helps cure my malaise:
“The heat’s after Trump.” (Rinse, repeat.)

My Latest Mantra (Limerick)
Tuesday, July 31st, 2018Trump Cavorts On Twitter (Limerick)
Sunday, July 29th, 2018Trump Tweet: “I would be willing to “shut down” government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!”

Tuesday, July 24th, 2018Flinging insults, Trump loves passing blame;
Coining nicknames, a favorite game.

Whose betrayal one can’t over-state.
#TreasonSummit (Limerick)

Berates them, and baits them.
Making enemies? Donald’s a pro!
Trump’s European Adventure
Sunday, July 15th, 2018Trump’s trip has, so far, been a mess.
