Car-Buying Blues (Limerick)

Thursday, March 27th, 2025

Headline: “Trump Announces 25% Tariffs on Imported Cars Effective April 2” (NOTE: This includes American brands assembled abroad.)

Do you need a new car? Then don’t wait!
Buy it now! Beat that Trump-tariff date.
For despite Donald’s scorn,
Fine economists warn:
Car-price surges will soon be our fate.

Yet Another Trump Limerick

Tuesday, March 25th, 2025

Rhyming “serious” has made me rather delirious:

Trump’s behavior is worse than imperious!
(Yes, this lim’rick ain’t funny; it’s serious.)
That vile felon’s our bane,
For alas, Donald’s reign
Is much more than a bit deleterious.

The Mad Tariffer (Limerick)

Friday, March 14th, 2025

My latest political limerick was largely inspired by this CNBC headline: “‘I’m not going to bend at all’: Trump doubles down on tariff plans as stocks sink”

(Not surprisingly, “Trump doubles down on…” is becoming an over-used, albeit exceedingly appropriate, headline phrase.)

Trump is doubling down on his madness,
Which increases my anger and sadness.
He’s insane and perverse
And keeps making things worse.
There’s no limit, alas, to his badness.

AWOL Wit? (Limerick)

Wednesday, March 12th, 2025

When I’m writing, I struggle to squeeze in
Lots of humor and wit and to season
All my poems with wordplay;
Perhaps absurd nerd-play.
I’ve failed? Donald’s treason’s the reason!

Coping With The Oval Madman (Limerick)

Thursday, March 6th, 2025

Though I try not to whine, moan, or mope,
I am finding it taxing to cope
With our nation’s ruination
And Donald’s castration
Of all who might lend us some hope.

An Open Limerick To Donald Trump

Wednesday, March 5th, 2025

My dear Trump, it’s a shame you’re so boring;
Last night’s speech was the inverse of soaring!
Though your acts are unbound,
That dull, monotone sound
Sent a shit-load of viewers a-snoring.

Dearest Dems (Limerick)

Tuesday, March 4th, 2025

Dearest Dems who attend Donald’s speech,
I had better not see your arms reach
Out to shake that man’s hand.
Such an act should be banned…
And don’t clap for that lawbreaking leech!

Non-Ode To “Truth Social” (Limerick)

Sunday, March 2nd, 2025

If you’re fond of political lies
And think Donald’s a “god,” oh so wise,
Then “Truth Social’s” your door
To Trump bullshit galore,
Filled with crap Donald’s moron base buys.

Four-Verse Trump Haiku

Wednesday, February 19th, 2025

A fractured nation
controlled by foul maniac;
Trump’s evil, unchecked.

A fractured nation
overtaken by evil,
as Putin’s Trump reigns.

A fractured nation
victimized by Trumpy myths
and cowardly pols.

A fractured nation–
Endangered Constitution–
The courts our last hope.

Open Limerick To New York Governor Kathy Hochul: Fire Mayor Eric Adams STAT!

Friday, February 14th, 2025

Mayor Eric Adams has made a deal with Donald “The Devil” Trump: In return for Trump’s making Adams’ pesky indictment go away, Adams will violate NY law by cooperating with Trump’s immigration (and perhaps other) policies. To make matters even worse, Trump has ensured Adams’ cooperation by making the indictment’s dismissal “without prejudice.” In other words, if Adams stops cooperating, Trump can get the indictment reinstated.

Fortunately, Governor Kathy Hochul has the legal power to remove Mayor Adams from office. But so far, she’s still weighing her decision. My limerick urges her to do the right thing and fire Mayor Adams right away.

Mayor Adams is now owned by Trump.
He’s been bought, so when Trump tells him “Jump,”
Adams asks him “How high?”
And so I must ask “Why
Doesn’t Hochul give Adams the dump?”

A Third Term For The Turd? (Limerick)

Monday, February 10th, 2025

Headline: “Trump Keeps Floating A Possible Third Term”

Trump is eyeing a THIRD term. (Big Sigh!)
Is it likely that Donald will try?
Experts deem it illegal,
But Trump thinks he’s regal–
That there’s nothing his power can’t buy.

Our Constitutional Collapse (Limerick)

Thursday, February 6th, 2025

I used to be able to write funny limericks. But these days, most of them are serious and depressing. This excellent Karen Tumulty column largely inspired this one:

An Executive Branch run amok!
Sen. “Advice and Consent?” No such luck!
Our Democracy’s hacked
And our nation’s soul’s cracked.
So what else can one say except FUCK!?!

GOP Cowards (Limerick)

Wednesday, February 5th, 2025

Washington Post Headline: “Republican skeptics cave on Trump’s most controversial Cabinet picks”

The Republican Sens. are compliant;
Against Donald they’re rarely defiant,
Which means bad nominees
Are approved with great ease…
Although each one’s the inverse of giant.

Trump Floods The Zone (Limerick)

Thursday, January 30th, 2025

The Donald is flooding the zone
With horrors that none should condone.
But his party just cowers,
Supporting “Trump’s powers.”
No objections or gripes — not a groan!

Fretting Isn’t Enough (Limerick)

Thursday, January 23rd, 2025

Pushing buttons is Donald’s great gift.
(That along with his talent for grift.)
The man glories in setting
Folks off who (while fretting)
Forget they must act when they’re miffed.

The Inaugural Travesty (Limerick)

Sunday, January 19th, 2025

I refuse to watch Donald sworn in.
It’s a sin such a demon could win.
That malicious deceiver
(Were I a believer)
Just might make me kick “God” in the shin.

Trump’s Latest Scam (Limerick)

Saturday, January 18th, 2025

Axios Headline: “Trump launches meme coin, apparently makes more than $25 billion overnight”

Trump made $25 “yards” overnight
With the $TRUMP coin — his new grifting blight.
By the way, “yard’s” a billion;
No NOT a mere million–
Bigly duping the not-very-bright.

Political Haiku Trio

Wednesday, January 1st, 2025

Trump’s reelection
Shameful watershed moment–
Many tears were shed.

*****

Tesla truck explodes
in front of a Trump Hotel–
Metaphor writes self.

*****

MAGA v. Reason–
ever-widening schism
with no bridge in sight.

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!

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!
