Trump. v. Schiff (Limerick)

Monday, November 19th, 2018

Headline: “Trump Blasts ‘Little Adam Schitt’”

Boorish Trump nicknames Schiff “Adam Schitt.”
(His idea of a comedy bit?)
Churlish Donald emits
Sundry vulgar, cheap hits,
Passing juvenile schtick off as wit.

Trump To Finally Visit California (Limerick)

Thursday, November 15th, 2018

Headline: “Trump to visit California as wildfire death toll rises”

California is Donald Trump’s bane,
But the Donald is planning to feign
Some warmth for the victims
(Those vile White House dictums!)
Unless he’s a victim of rain.

The GOP Draws The Wrong Conclusions (Limerick)

Thursday, November 15th, 2018

Headline: “McCarthy Blames Loss of House on ‘Historical Trends’”

Don’t expect any rueful admissions
To explain the Dem’s House seat additions.
No the GOP bends
The truth, blaming trends;
Not its actions and dreadful positions.

Thursday, November 15th, 2018

Stocks are fueling his pique.

And just wait till he’s under arrest.

Election Stress (Limerick)

Sunday, November 4th, 2018

Headline: “There’s Plenty To Stress Over In The ‘Anxiety Election'”

I’m nervous! I’m anxious! I’m stressed!
Leave the house? That entails getting dressed!
Pre-Election Day tension;
Fear, anger, dissension!
I might just pull a “Baldwin.” Need rest!

GOP Indecency (Limerick)

Friday, November 2nd, 2018

Donald Trump and his GOP peers
Are exploiting our cultural fears,
Using tactics divisive
And vilely derisive;
Throwing decency out on its ears.
