My great pride in our nation’s high station
Has sustained a substantial deflation
Caused by Trump and his cronies
Plus GOP phonies
Who’ve enabled Trump’s self-coronation.

National Pride??? (Limerick)
Wednesday, April 9th, 2025Trump in a NUTshell (Limerick)
Monday, March 31st, 2025Take a callous compulsion to bend
Pesky laws, plus a greed without end.
Add great ignorance, malice,
And lust for a palace.
Voilà! “The Rapacious Trump Blend!”
Woke Quatrain
Monday, March 31st, 2025To the Trump-loving creep:
“Call me woke. I won’t weep.
You ain’t clever or deep.
Now just go back to sleep!”
Car-Buying Blues (Limerick)
Thursday, March 27th, 2025Headline: “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.
The Mad Tariffer (Limerick)
Friday, March 14th, 2025My 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, 2025When 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, 2025Though 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, 2025My 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, 2025Dearest 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!
Four-Verse Trump Haiku
Wednesday, February 19th, 2025A 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.
A Third Term For The Turd? (Limerick)
Monday, February 10th, 2025Headline: “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.
GOP Cowards (Limerick)
Wednesday, February 5th, 2025Washington 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, 2025The 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, 2025Pushing 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, 2025I 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, 2025Axios 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.
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!
Our Constitutional Collapse (Limerick)
Thursday, February 6th, 2025I 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!?!
