GOP Taboos (Limerick)

Monday, April 10th, 2023

The list of things now deemed taboo
By Republicans grows right on cue:
Sculpture, books, proven facts,
Pills, and personal acts…
Unless done by their guy: You Know Who!

Mother’s Day Redefined

Sunday, May 8th, 2022

Mother’s Day Redefined:

When Supreme Court Justices and other misogynist Republicans celebrate women being FORCED to be mothers.

******

Chief Justice Roberts should focus less on the leak & more on the “I believe in stare decisis” perjurers sitting on his bench.

Limerick For A Key Anti-Vaxxer

Monday, January 10th, 2022

Headline: “Urine cures COVID, Christopher Key, recently arrested Alabama anti-vaxxer, falsely claims”

An anti-vax leader, Chris Key,
Says “I drink my own urine,” with glee.
The “Vaccine-Police” founder,
A loon and a bounder,
Insists that God’s cure-all’s your pee.

Political Haiku Trio 1

Friday, December 31st, 2021

Is Joe President?
That depends on who you ask.
Democracy weeps.

Right-wing Justices:
“When we like what the State does,
States’ Rights must prevail.”

If the unvaxxed die,
And allies don’t believe it,
Are they really dead?

Gov. DeSantis’s Reign Is A Killer (Limerick)

Thursday, August 12th, 2021

Headline: “DeSantis rakes in cash as Florida’s Covid wars rage”

Gov. DeSantis is raking in bread,
While his rules boost the number of dead.
His “pro-freedom” brand
Brings in cash, so he’s banned
Ev’ry mandate that slows Covid’s spread.

Not Masking My Frustration (Limerick)

Sunday, August 1st, 2021

Please tell me you’re pulling my leg
When you say there’s a spanking new reg:
The “no mask” rule’s been axed
For those who’ve been vaxxed?
Will you say it’s not true, if I beg?

Fox Hypocrisy (Limerick)

Monday, July 12th, 2021

Fox Newsers may cause the demise
Of their viewers with anti-vax cries.
“It’s my body,” they whine.
“It’s my choice!” Yet they’re fine
With abortion rights cut down to size.

Malaise At Mar-a-Lago? (Limerick)

Sunday, March 21st, 2021

Mar-a-Lago is partially closed,
Due to Covid. No shock: Trump’s opposed
To the wearing of masks;
In rebellion, he basks.
The result? His club’s rep has been hosed.

Neanderthal Limerick

Thursday, March 4th, 2021

Headline: “Biden calls states’ relaxing virus restrictions, including mask mandates, ‘Neanderthal thinking’”

Relaxing state Covid restrictions
Conflicts with the science predictions.
It’s “Neanderthal thinking,”
Says Biden, not shrinking
From words that condemn derelictions.

Three House Democrats Catch Covid-19 While Sheltering With Republican Mask-Refuseniks (Limerick)

Tuesday, January 12th, 2021

Headline: “Three Democrats Now Have COVID-19 After Republicans Refused To Wear Masks During The Capitol Attack”

Three Democrats, trapped in tight space,
Taking refuge from Trump’s raging base,
Were infected; made ill
By GOP swill
Who refused to wear masks — a disgrace!

Still Think It’s A Hoax? (Limerick)

Tuesday, December 29th, 2020

I’m amazed that there still are some folks
Who keep claiming that Covid’s a hoax.
Must you face death yourself
To put lies on the shelf?
Will you wait till a relative croaks?

Non-Deal-Maker-In-Chief (2-Verse Limerick)

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2020

Headline: “President Trump throws wrench into COVID-19 relief by saying he won’t sign bill”

When a bill is a fait accompli,
Trump the “deal-maker” bitches with glee.
He won’t help something pass;
He’d much rather harass
Other pols, in a bill-griping spree.

Donald COULD have helped carve out a deal
For Covid Relief. But that heel
Sent Mnuchin to rep him,
And now would sidestep him;
A bit late for such “squeaky wheel” zeal!

Our Scientific-Genius-In-Chief

Sunday, November 29th, 2020

Says Trump, “I came up with vaccines.”
Not bad for a guy who demeans
The value of science
And urges defiance
Of experts. (His uncle’s great genes?)

“Rounding The Turn?” Or Chasing Our Tails? (Limerick)

Monday, October 26th, 2020

“We’re rounding the turn,” Trump proclaims;
Deception’s but one of his games.
His rallies are reckless,
His mask-mocking, feckless.
Is disease-spreading one of his aims?

Trump’s Back To Abnormal (Limerick)

Monday, October 12th, 2020

The Donald is back to addressin’
His base in big rallies, expressin’
All his pre-illness views,
But with grandiose hues.
Glad to see Covid taught him a lesson.

Limerick Ode to the Loon-In-Chief

Monday, October 12th, 2020

Headline: “Twitter Flags Trump’s Tweet About Being ‘Immune’ to Virus”

The Donald proclaims “I’m immune,”
A rather implausible tune.
Sounding mad as a hatter,
His asinine chatter
Makes it clear that the man is a loon.

“Superspreader” Trump Returns To The Trail (Limerick)

Monday, October 12th, 2020

Headline: “Trump returns to trail amid concerns over COVID-19 diagnosis”

All we hear from the White House is lies
And evasions that nobody buys.
What’s the risk of exposure
To Trump? Non-disclosure!
I surmise that all contact’s unwise.

Covid’s A “Blessing From God?” (Limerick)

Thursday, October 8th, 2020

Headline: “Trump Calls His Illness ‘a Blessing From God’”

Getting Covid’s a “Blessing From God?”
Methinks that Trump’s reasoning’s flawed.
Donald’s just-pretend piety
Merits dubiety.
As with most things, re God Trump’s a fraud.

Manic Donald (Limerick)

Wednesday, October 7th, 2020

Headline: “Trump’s Tweeting Even More Erratic Than Usual”

Donald Trump sits atop of the Feds
And behaves like a madman on meds.
His tweets appear manic,
Galvanic, Satanic.
Can I panic at “Off with their heads!”?

Trump’s Real Mission? (Limerick)

Wednesday, October 7th, 2020

I’ve tried, but can’t shake my suspicion
That Trump and Mike Pence have this mission:
To infect Biden’s team —
That’s the Donald’s wet dream,
Which he thinks cancels out his condition.
