Trump’s New Year’s Resolutions (If He Could Write Limericks)

Tuesday, December 31st, 2024

“Tell me Sir, what’s your best resolution?”
Getting vengeance with each prosecution!
Also closing the borders,
Undoing Joe’s orders,
And trashing the damn Constitution!

Then there’s placing high tariffs galore
To give nations a giant what-for,
Getting rid of non-whites
And that dumb Bill of Rights,
Plus I’ll dump X-man Musk. What a bore!

Open Limerick To Texas Governor Greg Abbott

Monday, December 30th, 2024

Today’s limerick was inspired by this headline: “Texas Gov. Greg Abbott mistakenly sends condolences to late Rosalynn Carter after Jimmy Carter’s passing”

Dear Gov. Abbott, at someone’s demise,
Here is something I would not advise:
A condolences note
Like the one you just wrote
To Prez Carter’s dead wife. It ain’t wise!

Republican Gamesmanship (Limerick)

Friday, December 20th, 2024

The Republicans’ game is a mess.
Think they know what they’re doing? (God bless!)
At best, they are wreckers.
They’re NOT playing checkers.
And they’re certainly NOT playing chess!

Musk Throws His Weight Around (Limerick)

Thursday, December 19th, 2024

Upon Elon’s command, Johnson’s bill
Was withdrawn. Seems it gives Musk a thrill
To rob Trump of his job.
And so (yessiree Bob!)
Trump and Johnson must swallow this pill.

Open Limerick To The Cowardly Press

Wednesday, December 18th, 2024

I was about to say that the Disney/ABC $15 million cave to Trump was the final straw. But alas, I fear there will be many more straws:

Dear Press: Don’t obey in advance.
Don’t succumb to Trump’s arrogant dance.
If you do, you’ll be under
His thumb — torn asunder;
Vanquished victims of Trump’s rancid rants.

A Tragic Truth (Limerick)

Wednesday, December 11th, 2024

After learning that “enshittification” is a real word, I couldn’t resist using it in a limerick. (Yes, it means precisely what it sounds like.)

Trump is back, so truth’s value has dived,
And enshittification’s arrived!
Fabrications reap wins;
Seems no matter the sins,
Some can flourish (all grins) rank revived.

Trump’s Stinky Product (Limerick)

Monday, December 9th, 2024

I just read that Trump’s selling cologne!
Brand new grifting from Trump? Hold the phone!
I am stunned, simply shocked
And amazed, startled, rocked
That the thief’s stock of rip-offs has grown!

Trump’s Speedy Picks (Limerick)

Saturday, December 7th, 2024

Donald’s picks, on the whole, are all feckless.
There’s no vetting, alas. They are checkless.
Trump gives standards short shrift,
But his process is swift.
It’s a cinch being quick when you’re reckless!

My New York Times Rant (2-Verse Limerick)

Thursday, December 5th, 2024

The old “Gray Lady’s” falling in line,
Cov’ring Trump with no hint of a spine.
I’m so sick of its false
Equiv’lency waltz!
Is it fair to the Dems? I say Nein!

I would stop our subscription today.
But, alas, my dear spouse says, “No! Nay!”
He has wearied of hearing
My New York Times jeering.
So it’s here, where I must have my say.

The Trump Pick Blues (Limerick)

Wednesday, December 4th, 2024

When a Trump pick is forced to withdraw
Over sex-crimes, or some other flaw,
It seems likely, alas,
That an even worse ass
Will be named to help Trump flout the law.

Peril (Limerick)

Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024

Donald’s win in November is galling,
And his Cabinet picks are appalling.
The one qualification
To garner such station?
Trump allegiance. Democracy’s bawling!

Biden’s Hunter Pardon (Limerick)

Sunday, December 1st, 2024

Biden’s pardoning Hunter, I’ve read.
I hope Dems put their bitching to bed.
Please don’t huff and/or puff.
Hunter’s suffered enough!
Think how pissed Trump will be! Enough said!
