Resign Already! (Limerick)

Friday, August 24th, 2018

Hey Donald, it’s time to show spine.
Save your nation and fam’ly — resign!
You destroy and debase;
You’re an Oval disgrace.
While you’re at it, take Pence, your Veep-swine.

Shedding No Tears For Trump Staffers (Limerick)

Sunday, June 24th, 2018

A once sure-fire key to success
Was to work in the Oval; largesse
And prestige would soon flow.
Donald’s staff? Ho, ho, ho!
Toxic stress shall be yours — no redress!

Limerick Ode To Our Braggart-In-Chief

Wednesday, October 11th, 2017

How sad that Trump’s sooooo insecure,
Such a braggart and bully and boor.
Some were hoping he’d grow
In the Oval, but no…
Though there’s MORE of the “man” to endure.

*****

Headline: “A pair of crises tests Trump’s presidential empathy”

Testing Trump’s empathy is like testing a jellyfish’s spine.

*****

Headline “Democrats Seek to Make Ryan a Villain”

Isn’t Ryan ALREADY a VILLAIN?

*****

Like Trump and his supporters, I too miss the good old days — days when somebody else (even Dubya) was occupying the Oval.

*****

“Trump: ‘Disgusting’ press able to write whatever it wants”

Me: Disgusting president able to say whatever he wants.

*****

How I long for the good old days when our policy of containment dealt with foreign enemies; NOT the threat who’s occupying the Oval!

*****

“Jimmy Carter offers to hold peace talks with Kim Jong Un”

How about holding peace talks with Trump/Corker or Trump/Tillerson?

*****

Since Trump’s so obsessed with size (Little Marco, Liddle Bob) from now on I’m calling him Tubby Trump.

*****

“Pence Walks Out of Game Over Anthem Protest”

Headline SHOULD Read: “Pence Wastes Taxpayers’ Dollars Staging Sham Walk-Out”

*****

Offended by birth control and gays? No problem!

Trump/Sessions Doctrine: Religious freedom means freedom to discriminate.

*****

Breaking News: “State Dept: Tillerson did not call Trump ‘moron'”

That’s factually true; he actually called him “fucking moron.”

*****

Headline: “Most Partisans Have Few Friends In Other Party”
Could it be all that stress from dealing with RELATIVES in other party?

*****

Hairy Proposition (Limerick)

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

My bearded husband will be pleased to hear about this new BEARD PAC. It’s been launched to support bearded candidates of any party, with the ultimate goal of getting a beard back into the Oval Office:

“It’s been 125 years since our last bearded President, Benjamin Harrison, was elected,” BEARD PAC Communications Director Andy Shapero said. “We’re hoping that with our support, bearded individuals will shrug off over a century of political irrelevance and start running for office again.”

Hairy Proposition (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane

If you’re bearded and want to be prez,
There’s a PAC that might back you, that says
Facial hair is a must
And nude chins are a bust.
I suggest they Ben Harrison rez.*

* My apologies, but I found this Second Life reference irresistible, even though I wouldn’t even know what “rez” means without the help of the Urban Dictionary.

Open Limerick To Chris Christie

Tuesday, February 19th, 2013

Here’s a Chris Christie quote that may come back to haunt him: “I’m not much different from Andrew Cuomo. I probably agree with him on 98% of the issues.”

Open Limerick To Chris Christie
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Dear Chris, if the Oval’s your goal,
Then you’re digging yourself a deep hole:
You have said that your views
Are like Cuomo’s — bad news!
To your party each Dem is a troll.

The GOP Pitch (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Republicans made a huge mess.
Dems’ fixes they’ve tried to suppress.
Yet Republicans crow:
“The recovery’s slow.
Dump Obama. We’ve earned that address.”

Limerick Ode To the GOP

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

Wow! President Obama is a closet limerick writer! Check out this poem “rescued” from the Oval Office trash:

Limerick Ode To the GOP By Barack Obama
“Rescued” By Madeleine Begun Kane

Dear Republicans, thanks for your slate
Of possible pols to debate.
I’ve been worried as hell.
Now you’ve made my hopes swell,
Cuz my years here may well grow to eight.

Dear Maureen Dowd, I Don’t Like Your Tone

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

I’d hoped that Maureen Dowd was all done with her Michelle Obama biceps obsession. But apparently not. In her latest column, Dowd insinuates that Michelle’s “sinewy arms” belong in the Oval.

Dear Maureen Dowd, I Don’t Like Your Tone
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Dear Maureen, please I’m begging, enough!
Yes, the First Lady’s biceps are buff.
But I really don’t need
To constantly read
About “sinewy arms.” Stop the fluff!
