“I’m here to serve; NOT to control,”
Says McMaster, describing his role
Re President Trump,
Who surely would dump
Any chump who owned up to that goal.

McMaster’s Role (Limerick)
Thursday, September 28th, 2017Russian Election Interference — NOT A One-Time Thing (Limerick)
Wednesday, June 21st, 2017Though people seem prone to adopt
The past tense re the Russians, I’ll opt
To claim present tense crime
Re elections, each time;
There’s no reason to think that they’ve stopped.
Nominee Obstruction Obfuscation (Limerick)
Wednesday, June 21st, 2017Trump’s been tweeting “Obstruction!” on cue,
Blaming Dems. Confirmations are few,
But can non-nominees
Be stymied? Oh, please!
Self-obstruction’s the root of Trump’s rue.
The Grifter-In-Chief Has Lost His BS Groove.
Sunday, June 11th, 2017Donald Trump appears miffed and adrift;
He’s bereft of his once go-to gift
Of BSing his way
Out of any foray.
No more heyday for fraud, lies, and grift!
Limerick Ode To Rachel Maddow
Wednesday, June 7th, 2017Dear Rachel, you’re back, and we hail
Your return, though you’re still looking pale.
Life without you is cursed,
But your health must come first,
As you help put the Donald in jail.
Voter’s Remorse? (Limerick)
Tuesday, June 6th, 2017“Are you suff’ring from voter’s remorse?”
That query arises, perforce.
But I’ve yet to hear “yes”
In response, I confess.
Does it cause that much stress to change course?
Trump Exercises His Right Not To Exercise (Limerick)
Tuesday, May 9th, 2017A headline like this one demands a limerick: “Donald Trump thinks exercise will kill you.”
Will exercise kill you? The guy
In the Oval believes it. That’s why
Donald looks like he looks.
(I’d been blaming his cooks.)
This explains why to VEEP Pence said “AYE!”
AWOL Trump? (Limerick)
Tuesday, May 9th, 2017According to CNN, Trump’s been out of sight for five straight days.
Dear Donald: You sick? We’re concerned
Cuz for five lengthy days you have spurned
All public events.
Are you feverish? Tense?
Simply taking a respite unearned?
The Price Of Defiance (Limerick)
Wednesday, May 3rd, 2017The Donald keeps shattering norms;
Routine standards? He rarely conforms.
Though it got him the win,
His defiant thin skin
Breeds snafus, chaos, loss, and tweet storms.
Trump’s Team Of Truth-Maskers (Limerick)
Tuesday, April 4th, 2017Trump staffers’ main job is to mask
Donald’s bullshit as truth; that’s their task.
So when queried, they lie
And distort and deny…
Till we wearily reach for a flask.
Who’s The Fool Now? (Limerick)
Saturday, April 1st, 2017I’m avoiding the April Fools’ fuss
Cuz I’d rather just glower and cuss;
Dour Donald’s in power
And life has grown sour.
It seems that the joke is on US!
Trump’s Empty Threats (Limerick)
Thursday, March 30th, 2017This tweet from Alex Burns (New York Times & CNN) inspired a limerick. How? It made me realize that Trump’s anti-Freedom Caucus rants may actually help its members:
“Please, sir, don’t massively elevate us as the scourge of the mainline Republican Party.” Does anyone hear the Freedom Caucus saying this?
While it’s true that Trump clearly outranks
The Republican wingnuts, he tanks
When he threatens the Caucus
Called “Freedom.” His raucous
Attacks might just make them say, “Thanks!”
“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.
Deal-Making Donald? (Limerick)
Thursday, March 23rd, 2017Poor Donald has sacrificed valuable golfing time for his Obamacare-repeal ̶i̶n̶t̶i̶m̶i̶d̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶r̶e̶a̶t̶s̶ negotiation. But Trump’s failed so far, and the vote’s been postponed.
Dear Donald, you say you’re a closer
And a deal-making, ground-breaking dozer.
But your arm-twisting tries
And Obamacare lies
Haven’t worked. Are you naught but a poser?
Yet Another Time Cover Story For Trump (Limerick)
Thursday, March 23rd, 2017Time’s Michael Scherer has a cover story which asks the question: “Can President Trump Handle the Truth?” Before I get to my limerick, here’s his last paragraph:
Before he got off the phone, I tried one more time to get Trump to answer a question about the risk to his reputation caused by false and ever changing utterances. Once again, he would not accept the premise. “Hey, look,” he said. “I can’t be doing so badly, because I’m President and you’re not.” As a factual matter, the last part of this statement is indisputably true. And with that, he graciously said goodbye and went back to running the affairs of the most powerful country in the world.
Trump’s presidency is a mess,
But to Donald, his reign’s a success.
Here’s his proof (and it’s squat):
“I’m the prez, and you’re not.”
(This is Trump being nice to the press.)
Why Trump Lies (Limerick)
Tuesday, March 21st, 2017Self-aggrandizing lies are the norm
From the Donald; each falsehood-filled storm
Sows confusion and doubt,
Which he can’t do without.
How to shore up support? Disinform!
Endless Winter? (Limerick)
Monday, March 20th, 2017Though the calendar tells me it’s spring,
My morale won’t allow me to sing
Because winter’s forever;
King Trump holds the lever…
And he’s razing our nation for bling.
About Last Night (Limerick)
Wednesday, March 1st, 2017The reviews for Trump’s speech, in the main,
Were swell, cuz he seemed to be sane:
He read his speech well;
Did not rant, rave, or yell.
What a low bar we’ve set for his reign.
