When pressure has taken its toll,
Relaxation’s a laudable goal.
But getting there’s hard
If your path remains marred
By Donald’s eluding the Hole.
(National Relaxation Day is August 15.)

Strawberries grow wild
in our “little house” front yard.
We’re farmers! Who knew?
“#IMAFARMERLIKENUNES TRENDS AFTER REPORT DEVIN NUNES’ ‘FARM’ IS ABOUT ‘100 SQUARE FEET”
Seems I can’t avoid writing about Trump, even while I’m trying to celebrate National Cocktail Day.
I could use a stiff drink. Make it strong,
Cuz The Donald is doing us wrong.
The Trumpian brand
Has invaded our land.
And those hands! Kindly pass me the bong.
Happy 225th birthday to the U.S. Supreme Court! (On Sept. 24, 1789 President George Washington signed the
Judiciary Act of 1789, which created a Supreme Court with six justices.)
Happy Birthday To The Supremes (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Seems today marks the birth of a court,
The court of supreme last resort.
Chief Justice John Jay
Ran it back in the day.
I just wish it would do what it ort.
Limerick Ode To Truth-Telling
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Here’s a viewpoint espoused in the news:
There’s no truth — only differing views.
But when viewpoints are based
On lies, truth’s erased.
News outlets, you’ve failed us. J’accuse.
Limerick Ode To World Environment Day (June 5)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
World Environment Day has arrived,
Though “Deniers” insist it’s contrived:
This science contention
That sans intervention,
Global warming will leave us short-lived.
