“I can’t vote for that bill in the form
That it’s in at this time.” That’s the norm
From a devious pol
Who’s just trying to stall;
Though lukewarm, he’ll conform to the swarm.

Don’t Be Duped By Health Bill “Hold-Outs” (Limerick)
Friday, June 23rd, 2017Mitch’s Secret Health Bill (Limerick)
Friday, June 16th, 2017A health care vote’s scheduled for June,
But the bill’s in an air-tight cocoon;
It’s been hidden by Mitch
Cuz its terms are a bitch
Which, if known, we’d impugn and lampoon.
Another MEANingful Trump Claim (Limerick)
Tuesday, June 13th, 2017A surprising House Health Bill complaint
Came from Donald. (Consistent, he ain’t.)
When it passed in the House,
How he partied, the louse!
Now he claims that it’s “mean,” in a feint.
A Dose Of Reality To Douse Trump’s Spirits (Limerick)
Saturday, May 6th, 2017Dear Donald, your pleasure and awe
Over Trumpcare are marred by a flaw
Eas’ly found with a mouse:
It takes more than one house
To convert your bill into a law.
Donald Disses Turnbull Again (2-Verse Limerick)
Thursday, May 4th, 2017It seems Donald isn’t done dissing Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. Not only did he shorten (and push back by several hours) today’s meeting (which was meant to help repair their relationship.) But he did it for the most callow of reasons: An AHCA House passage victory dance.
Donald’s meeting with Trumball today
Was intended to make things okay
’Tween Australia and Trump,
Yet he opted to bump
Their confab for a callow display.
What took precedence over their meeting,
Postponing and short’ning their greeting?
A public hooray
That the AHCA
Passed the House … and some swagg’rin’ chest beating.
Only Bad People Get Sick? (Limerick)
Wednesday, May 3rd, 2017According to Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), sick people don’t deserve affordable healthcare.
If you’re healthy, this means that you’re good.
Only bad folks get sick. Understood?
That’s the gospel of Mo;
Rep. Mo Brooks — what a schmo!
“Christian love” from the GOP hood.
Paul Ryan’s Power Shortage (Limerick)
Wednesday, April 12th, 2017Ryan’s power and clout are in doubt;
Reign adrift from its rout in the bout
Over health care reform,
The repeal/replace storm
Leaving Paul with a leverage drought.
“Repeal & Replace,” A 4-Verse Limerick Saga
Friday, March 24th, 2017Our government once was divided,
A condition Republicans chided.
They would gripe and they’d grouse:
“Ruling Senate and House
Ain’t enough. Give us power three-sided.”
Then it happened — their guy beat our dame!
Now with White House control they’re aflame
To alter our laws
By inserting new flaws
Right away — helping rich folks, their aim.
They began with “repeal and replace,”
An action they vowed they would ace;
First they’d get full control,
Then they’d easily roll
All the Dems — this they promised their base.
But the bill that was key to their game
Has been pulled to the GOP’s shame.
Who’s at fault? No, not Trump,
Nor Paul Ryan. The Grump
Claims the powerless Dems are to blame.
A Happy Retiree? (Limerick)
Friday, March 24th, 2017John Boehner pretty much predicted today’s events in this article: “Now In Happy Retirement, John Boehner Admits Republicans Will Never Agree on Obamacare Repeal.”
I’m wond’ring if Boehner feels glee
At the TrumpCare affair, cuz no plea
Saved that bill from the brink.
Surely Boehner must think:
“Better Donald and Ryan than me!”
