Dear Donald, you’ll need more than luck
With your efforts at passing the buck;
You could crawl on all fours,
But the shutdown blame’s yours:
You’re the schmuck who’s inflicted this muck.

Donald’s Blame Game (Limerick)
Sunday, December 30th, 2018Trump’s Transparent Troop Lies (Limerick)
Friday, December 28th, 2018Headline: Trump Lies to Troops’ Faces About Pay Raise He Gave Them
Trump must think that our troops are all dumb.
What else could explain why that bum
Would visit their base
And lie to their face
Re their raises? The Donald is scum!
Trump Tries To “Rally” The Troops (Limerick)
Thursday, December 27th, 2018My dear Trump, were you raised in an alley?
Cuz a visit with troops ain’t a rally.
Your political speech
In that setting’s a breach…
And pally, we’re keeping a tally.
Our Oval Menace (Limerick)
Thursday, December 27th, 2018Headline: “Trump Brags To Troops About A Fictional Giant Pay Raise He Got Them”
Dear Donald, by lying to troops,
You dishonor and treat them like dupes.
Your “regime” is a mess,
And you menace the press…
Though you DO provide plenty of scoops.
*****
Covert deployment
has been revealed by Donald
who can’t be trusted.
No Kudos From Me (Limerick)
Wednesday, December 26th, 2018Don’t expect any praise or applause
For that trip to Iraq; Donald’s flaws
Shall always outweigh
One single good day
In a reign that flouts all of our laws.
Limerick Ode To The Scapegoater In Chief
Wednesday, December 26th, 2018The Donald loves passing the buck;
Blame is something he’ll constantly duck.
Unlike Truman, who said:
“Buck stops here,” Trump instead
Runs amok — finds a fall guy to fuck.
Donald’s Revenge List (Limerick)
Wednesday, December 26th, 2018Jane C. Timm: “The president is making a list, and checking it twice: Those who have wronged him.”
The Donald is making a list
Of people who’ve wronged him. He’s pissed!
Nearly ev’ryone’s mean,
So on vengeance Trump’s keen.
How he wishes they’d cease to exist!
Limerick Ode to our Blame-Shirker-In-Chief
Monday, December 24th, 2018Headline: “Stock Market Rout Has Trump Fixated on Fed Chair Powell”
Says Donald, The Fed is at fault
For the stock market’s large downward vault.
Blame Powell, he’ll blurt,
Throwing mud to subvert
The truth, via “facts” that are alt.
Losing Mattis Matters (Limerick)
Sunday, December 23rd, 2018James Mattis held Donald at bay.
But alas, the man’s going away
Way before he had planned,
Because Trump felt unmanned
And said “Leave now!” (Trump-petulance-play.)
Limerick Ode To Trump’s Shutdown
Saturday, December 22nd, 2018The shutdown, dear Donald, is yours.
You broke it; you keep it. The doors
Of the gov have been shut
By YOU! Get your butt
Down to Congress. Concede … on all fours.
Mulvaney And Trump Are Quite The Couple (Limerick)
Saturday, December 22nd, 2018Headline: “Mick Mulvaney in 2015: Trump’s views on border wall ‘simplistic,’ ‘absurd and almost childish’”
Donald’s wall-pledge is clearly “absurd!”
Don’t take it from me; that’s a word
Mick Mulvaney once used
To describe it. Confused?
So’s the staff-chief now leading Trump’s herd.
Our Shocking News (Limerick)
Friday, December 21st, 2018The news keeps delivering shocks:
There’s a daily new low for our stocks;
James Mattis resigned;
Trump (as usual) whined;
And we seem to be governed by Fox.
There is plenty more bad news to list,
And the thought of it all makes me pissed.
The government’s closed,
And our nation’s been hosed
By a felon. (Well, you get the gist.)
Shutdown Blame Game
Friday, December 21st, 2018The odds of a shutdown are growing,
And the BS-packed blame-game is flowing.
Blame Pelosi, they blare.
Schumer! Durbin! I swear,
Those Republican noses are growing.
Limerick Ode To Paul Ryan
Wednesday, December 19th, 2018Headline: “Paul Ryan sure wishes we could have fixed the deficit he helped explode”
Good riddance, Paul Ryan. Buh-bye,
To a craven and faux-wonkish guy.
“Budget hawk?” What a joke!
You’re a tax-cutting bloke,
And your life’s a big deficit lie!
Trump’s “Strongman Swagger” (Limerick)
Wednesday, December 19th, 2018John Dean: “Trump also believes taking thoughtless actions that hurt everyone shows his strongman swagger…”
The Donald will swagger and preen,
And behave like an uncontrolled teen.
He’ll target the weak
And the desp’rate, to seek
Base support. How he loves to demean!
Limerick Ode To Michael Flynn
Wednesday, December 19th, 2018“Flynn gets slapped for lawyer stunt claiming he was somehow set up”
If you’re tempted to try legal stunts,
Take this lesson from Flynn, who’s a dunce:
When you feign being set up,
Your troubles won’t let up;
Fed’ral judges detest such affronts!
Trump’s Team Of Crooks (Limerick)
Tuesday, December 18th, 2018Slate: “The DOJ has made a pretty thorough case that the Trump campaign was filled with crooks.”
Trump’s campaign-team was teeming with crooks
It surely was one for the books;
His affinity for
That felonious corps
Was driven by greed. (Not good looks.)
Trump’s Pre-Election Middle Class Tax-Cut Con (Limerick)
Tuesday, December 18th, 2018Headline: “Mnuchin Backs Off Trump’s Promise of 10% Middle-Class Tax Cut”
Just before the most recent election,
Donald tweeted a base-bait confection,
Falsely pledging a boon
For the middle class — soon!
Phantom tax cuts – a Trump misdirection.
Trump’s Favorite Defenses (Limerick)
Tuesday, December 18th, 2018“Never happened!” (Trump’s fav’rite defense)
His use of that claim is immense.
When it fails (all the time)
Trump denies it’s a crime,
Unwisely surmising we’re dense.
Limerick Ode To Trump’s Inauguration Fund
Monday, December 17th, 2018Trump’s Inaugural Fund looks suspicious;
Monies raised were bizarrely ambitious,
And the numbers don’t jibe.
Were there pay-offs? A bribe?
Major windfalls for Trump injudicious?
