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!?!

Poor Josh Hawley??? (Limerick)

Monday, January 25th, 2021

Headline: “Sen. Josh Hawley Mocked for Claiming to Be ‘Muzzled’ in His ‘Splashy Front-Page’ NY Post Feature”

Poor Josh Hawley complains he’s been muzzled.
But his claim’s keeping many folks puzzled;
He’s a Sen. with a book
And a cover pic. Look,
Maybe Hawley just needs to be nuzzled.

The Perennially “Concerned” Sen. Collins (Limerick)

Saturday, August 15th, 2020

Headline: “Susan Collins Expresses ‘Concerns’ Over Delays In Mail Delivery”

Susan Collins — “concerned” once again;
She clucks like a malcontent hen,
As if truly upset
By misdeeds or a threat…
But follow-through votes? Not that Sen!

GOP Blockheads Block Witness Demands (Limerick)

Tuesday, January 7th, 2020

Hill Headline: “McConnell has the votes to block Democrats’ witness demands in Trump impeachment trial”

Donald Trump’s taken actions illicit,
But Republicans scoff and dismiss it
As perfectly fine
While they toe Mitch’s line…
And that makes them corruptly complicit.

Who Needs Qualified Judges? (Limerick)

Sunday, December 10th, 2017

My latest limerick was inspired by this Politico headline: “Republicans step up defense of ‘not qualified’ judicial nominees.”

“Unqualified” judges? Who cares!?!
If the nominee’s attitude squares
With Republican stances,
Trump’s Court-choice advances.
He’s OUR guy, so NO splitting hairs!
