Enough With “The Former Guy!” (Limerick)

Monday, March 1st, 2021

Is Donald a boor, or a bore?
How ’bout both? Yes, forget either/or,
For at CPAC his game
Was old lies, hate, and blame.
Don’t need more of the same toxic snore!

Mitt Romney Pens A Limerick

Monday, March 9th, 2020

Mitt Romney has penned a limerick, inspired by these two headlines:

“SEN. MITT ROMNEY DISINVITED FROM CPAC 2020 AFTER VOTING TO HEAR WITNESS TESTIMONY IN IMPEACHMENT TRIAL”

“4 members of Congress — including lawmaker who shook Trump’s hand — to self-quarantine after CPAC”

Here’s Romney’s limerick:

Dear CPAC, your disinvitation
Was a blessing. I’m feeling elation;
It seems Covid-19
Was, alas, at your scene,
And I wasn’t, so thanks. Big ovation!

Open Limerick to the Flag-Humper-in-Chief

Tuesday, March 5th, 2019

Joy Behar, on Trump at CPAC: “If he hugged that flag any closer he would have to pay it hush money.”

Dear Donald, when out on the stump
Please don’t lunge at our flag and then hump.
Such an act’s unbecoming
And vulgar — mind-numbing.
What’s your next flag-act? Taking a dump?

Trump at CPAC (Limerick)

Saturday, March 2nd, 2019

Sub-headline: “In an epic two-hour speech, the president claims the Russia probes are ‘bullshit’ as he regaled a conservative crowd after his North Korea summit failure.”

At CPAC Trump ranted and raved;
In a two-hour speech he behaved
Like a fellow who’s filled
With self-pity and thrilled
With his wing-nutty forum depraved.

Quote of the Day

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

“The great irony of where we are today is that we had a Bush-Obama big-spending program that was bipartisan in its nature. We got big spending under Bush, now we’ve got big spending under Obama.” (Newt Gingrich as quoted by the New York Times)

Funny, but I could have sworn that Dick Cheney was Bush’s Veep.
